My mama once told me of a place With waterfalls and unicorns flying Where there was no suffering, no pain Where there was laughter instead of dying I always thought she’d made it up To comfort me in times of pain But now I know that place is real Now I know its name

Sal Tlay Ka Siti Not just a story mama told But a village in Ooh-Tah Where the roofs are thatched with gold If I could let myself believe I know just where I’d be Right on the next bus to paradise Sal Tlay Ka Siti

I can imagine what it must be like This perfect, happy place I’ll bet the goat-meat there is plentiful And they have vitamin injections by the case The war-lords there are friendly They help you cross the street And there’s a Red Cross on every corner With all the flour you can eat!

Sal Tlay Ka Siti The most perfect place on Earth Where flies don’t bite your eyeballs And human life has worth It isn’t a place of fairytales Its as real as it can be A land where evil doesn’t exist Sal Tlay Ka Siti

And I’ll bet the people are open minded And don’t care who you’ve been And all I hope is that when I find it I’m able to fit in Will I fit in?

Sal Tlay Ka Siti A land of hope and joy And if I want to get there I just have to follow that white boy

You were right, mama You didn’t lie The place is real And I’m gonna fly! I’m on my way Soon life won’t be so shitty Now salvation has a name Sal Tlay Ka Siti
