Sal Tlay Ka Siti lyrics

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 it's 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

The flies don’t bite your eyeballs

And human life has worth

It isn’t a place of fairytales

It's 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
