A Prisoner's Dilemma

(album: Oui - 2022)

Buon giorno mia Amanda
Wish you were fine now that the weather's here
You remember the aroma o'Tacoma around this time of year?
But you're on la vie d'Italia
Shut in some ancient xenophobic state
Now that LaRoma's your new home we'll have to conjugate
From Emerald City up to the Vatican gates
A prisoner's dilemma
You gotta defect
It's Juliet or Romeo?

That naughty girl
Half across the world
She's just her Daddy's girl 'til you provoke her
In them Tuscan hills
You can't buy a thrill
Where some foreigner can't take a joke?
Because a hot rockstar really gets me high
Amanda Knox I'll be your alibi

O face bonita, on a night
So tightly swaddled in Halloween shroud
The night you rolled your lira along the mirror
Until three was a crowd
Lets hope your playmate stays quiet
And no DNA's allowed?

A prisoner's dilemma but you gotta defect
And Raphael's no Romeo
Then you can sell your story rights,
Do talk show nights
Or host your own reality show?

That naughty girl
Half across the world
She's just her Mama's pearl 'til you provoke her
In them thar Tuscan hills
You can't buy a thrill
So some foreigner can't take a joke?

Because a hot rockstar really gets me high
Amanda Knox (Amanda Knox) lemme be your alibi, just let me try
You know a foxy rockstar always gets me growing, so much that I...
Amanda Knox (don't stop) you gotta keep on going
Amanda Knox
Amanda Fox-in-the-Box

Return the night another day
Return the night some other day
When we can talk in Italian:
Buona notte, que cosi fe?
Another day
Viva l'Italia
Prego, mia poca volpe

Ciao!
