The Living End - Leilani Lyrics
Originally by Hoodoo Gurus
Somewhere on a South Pacific island
Sits a young man staring at the surf
His native girlfriend died a death quite violent
A tribal sacrifice made to the earth
She was brown, her hair was black, her eyes were blue
A chiefs daughter, Leilani was her name
She and her young man made a handsome two
But lava tore them both apart again
Leilani, dont go to the volcano, hed say.
Please don't go to the volcano.
They were saving for a little hut,
She collected seashells every day
Every night they'd share a cigarette
But the ancient, angry gods got in the way.
Leilani, dont go to the volcano, he'd plead.
Please don't go, I'll miss you so.
Katoomba, Hey! Macumbah, Ho!
Umgawah! Hey! Ho! Heyeh! Ah...
Leilani crulabulaulladullawokatai
Abalabalaba, Hut!
Leilaninevagetahutateracotatile
Abalabalaba Hut!
Umgawah!!!
Still the young man sits upon the beach
Hes staring mistyeyed out into space
Hes thinking about his girlfriend of late, deceased
At least her death had purpose; his life is a waste!
Leilani, dont go to the volcano, he said.
Please don't go, I'll miss you so. He said
Please don't go, I love you, I love you so.
Please don't go.
