Caetano Veloso - Maria Bethânia lyrics

Everybody knows that our cities were built to be destroyed Everybody knows that our cities were built to be destroyed You get annoyed You buy a flat You hide behind the mat But I know she was born to do everything wrong whith all of that But I know she was born to do everything wrong whith all of that Maria Bethânia, please send me a letter I wish to know things are getting better Better, better, Beta-, Beta-, Bethânia Please send me a letter I wish to know things are getting better She has given her soul to the devil but the devil gave his soul to God She has given her soul to the devil but the devil gave his soul to God Before the flood After the blood Before you can see She has given her soul to the devil and bought a flat by the sea She has given her soul to the devil and bought a flat by the sea Maria Bethânia, please send me a letter I wish to know things are getting better Better, better, Beta-, Beta-, Bethânia 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 fruit You go ahead You wake up on your bed 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 Bethânia, please send me a letter I wish to know things are getting better Better, better, Beta-, Beta-, Bethânia Please send me a letter I wish to know things are getting better
