This song was really written around the phrase “neon Mother Teresa” – coined by Kate about our friend Christina during a music video shoot (her head was draped in a bright scarf thing). Later I said “I call dibs on the term ‘neon Mother Teresa’ for a song”.
lyrics
At the end of summer
She’ll disappear like a cloud
And at the end of sunlight
She wanders in to the night.
But where she goes, no one knows
What she said, had no words
Where she goes, no one knows
She was holding the moon and dancing with children
Like a god damn neon Mother Teresa
Giving glow sticks to the poor
Evangelina
Oooooooo Evangelina
Oooooooo We want to see ya
But where she goes, no one knows
What she said, had no words
Where she goes, no one knows
When she pulls you closer
Her touch is soft as the fog
She’s a mystic contradiction
who wanders in to the night.
But where she goes, no one knows
What she said, has no words
Where she goes, no one knows
She was singing a song as she spun in the sunlight
Mixing bible verse with a cake recipe
Spreading her arms out to us all
Evangelina (Evangelina)
She was holding the moon and dancing with children
Like a god damn neon Mother Teresa
Giving glow sticks to the poor
Evangelina (Evangelina)
Oooooooo Evangelina
Oooooooo We want to see ya
Where she goes, no one knows
What she said, had no words
Where she goes, no one knows
What she said, no one heard
Where she goes, no one knows
but when she smiles, flowers grow
