n portugal - ithaka lyrics

ithaka got love for portugal
’cause i lived a lot of years in portugal
’cause i got a lotta bros in portugal
’cause i found my soul in portugal

ithaka ain’t from the old school, ithaka ain’t from the new
i came swimming into the picture from the depths of the blue
with my fins dried out dragged myself to town
didn’t know it if i was lost or if i was found

no job, no friend, no money, not funny
stepchild in lisboa with no milkshakes or honey
but i be gliding, i be rolling
treatin’ time like it be stolen

take the whole story back to the year 1992
cuz sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do*
time for me to escape from the city of devils
it was the riddle of life that i was trying to unravel
i had to get out of there while there was going to get
la was the hunter california was the net

portugal, i missing you
you was down with me and i’m down with you
portugal, i’m missing you
you’re a part of me and i’m a part of you
i was flat broke in portugal
ate a lot of caldo verde in portugal
drank alot of superbock in portugal
smoked alot of ganza in portugal
i look to the blue cuz i’m the bum with blue blood*
been four long years* since i made ketchup love.*
pretty little, pretty little pretty pretty stellafly*
won’t you please baby please be my substance*free exile*
but she said, no it’s time for you to roam
so catch the sushi*pack subway* and get yourself on home

i walk the street with no street loyalty.*
cuz i be from the sea, i be the fishdaddy.*
in my spiritual graveyard* there i was stuck
wasn’t easy like i thought to just so get up.*

the rise and fall of a fortune* that was the next plot.*
sunny the bunny* split with my money
but he never got caught
erase the slate of hate*, erase the slate of hate
with some flowers and the color of paint.*

portugal, i missing you
you was down with me and i’m down with you
portugal, i’m missing you
you’re a part of me and i’m a part of you
there’s alot of sugar dolls in portugal
and i made alot of love in portugal
but i didn’t make babies in portugal
cuz i always wore a glove in portugal
b*tterfly of wisdom* said, stay strong little brother*
ain’t no breeze*, so stonemobile* on down
to the alabama cave party*
king tardy’s* umbilibus* arrived at two
with the escape from the city of angel* crew
then it was ursula of ithaka*, capricorn and cancer*
and seabra is mad*
from somewhere south of gibraltar.*

later, met pigeon lady* at eden by the sea.*
she’s a sleepdriver* but she makes good cookies*
oatmeal chocolate chip cookies
now i’m speeding through the decades like they was red lights
keeping a lead on the loanshark that lent me the good life
i’m out there living mine all the time
cuz rhymes don’t grow in the garden

portugal, i missing you
you was down with me and i’m down with you
portugal, i’m missing you
you’re a part of me and i’m a part of you
peace and love in portugal
the sky’s still blue in portugal
reefs and points in portugal
scored the barrel of my life in portugal
scribed a lot of rhymes in portugal
made a demo in portugal
cut two albums in portugal
yes, life was good in portugal
portugal, i missing you
you was down with me and i’m down with you
portugal, i’m missing you
you’re a part of me and i’m a part of you
