Scott Walker - Maria Bethania

his song is by Scott Walker.

Everybody knows that our cities were built to be destroyed
Everybody knows that our cities were built to be destroyed
You get to know it
You buy a flat
You hide behind the mat
But I know she was born to do everything
Wrong before our love died
But I know she was born to do everything
Wrong before our love died

Maria Bethania please send me a letter
I wish to know things are getting
Better better better better better
Bethania please send me a letter
I wish to know things are getting better

She has give out a soul to the devil but
The devil gave his soul to God
She has give out a soul to the devil but
The devil gave his soul to God.
Before the flood
After the flood
Before you can't see
She has given the soul to the devil
And bought a flat by the sea
She has given the soul to the devil
And bought a flat by the sea

Maria Bethania please send me a letter
I wish to know things are getting better,
Better, better, better, better.
Bethania please send me a letter
I wish to know things are getting better

Everybody knows that it's so hard to dig and get to the root
Everybody knows that it's so hard to dig and get to the root
You eat the food
You go ahead
You wake up on your head
But I love her face cause it has nothing to do with all I said
But I love her face cause it has nothing to do with all I said

Maria Bethania please send me a letter
I wish to know things are getting better
Better, better, better, better
Bethania please send me a letter
I wish to know things are getting better
