Key West Lyrics


She's as pretty, pretty as a lioness
and like a lion I tamed her myself
I walked right up and said "Hey you'll never guess!"
It's a beautiful sunset, as south as you can get.but I never had a home
that I could call my own
so I guess I'm gonna have to roam or build a nest
Tonight will be Key WestShe laughed at first, and so I smiled back
Then I asked her "What do you think about that?"
we are closer to Cuba, then the U.S.
Where people make all their money waiting for shipwrecksAnd there used to be a train
all the way from Maine
but then a hurricane wiped it out,
and its never been the sameHemingway really loved his cats
Polydactyl now you try saying that or Jimmy Buffetts hats
he put them in his will, kicked his wife right out
The old man and the sea, or good old hunter s.But I'm not here for myself,
I really just wanna help
to try and be just blessed

you and me should start a really good businessYou won't have to worry cause here it never frosts
so we can sleep outside under the spanish moss
that's when I started to detect a subtle pause
when in my mind all i heard was applauseWell why don't we invest
in all the world's homeless
and put our ills to rest
i betcha that would be the best
or hitchike our way to Key west.

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
This Frontier Needs Heroes is the Alternative Folk duo of brother-sister Brad and Jessica Lauretti from Brooklyn, NY.

Listening to This Frontier Needs Heroes is like having Brad and Jessica play in your backyard while the sun comes up. With their powerful delivery and delicate harmonies; their songs are full of honest, personal stories of love, loss and longing for a better world.

Since their 2009 debut release, they have received much acclaim from Itunes, NPR, Time Out New York, Time Out London, and Decider as well as indie blogs from around the globe. They have played hundreds of shows across the US and UK with Kath Bloom, She Keeps Bees, Arbouretum, Tallest Man on Earth, and The Handsome Family including several UK festival appearances. (Solfest, Shambala, End of the Road)

In 2010, they used Kickstarter donations from their growing fan base to fund their follow up album. They decided to leave the studio for a more intimate approach and recorded in an old school house in Wassaic, NY, with engineer Justin Pizzoferrato (MV & EE, Dinosaur Jr., Thurston Moore). THE FUTURE, out May 10, 2011 on their newly formed label HEROIC ENDEAVOURS RECORDS, has wild new songs about all of their rambling experiences including new visions about space, family, heroes, history, and dogs. THE FUTURE also includes album art in 3D and will be shipped with 3D glasses! "The Future" is now available in CD, MP3, and VINYL. Read more on Last.fm.
