Going to Palestine by The Mountain Goats Lyrics

[Verse 1]
That woman set herself on fire
They said it on the radio
They said she lit off the skies of Palestine
I could not stand to hear them say so

[Refrain]
I saw the stars come out
I saw the oranges on the trees

[Verse 2]
Later on they played some Caribbean song
Man, they sure know how to pick 'em
The rich voice burning like a fuse
The syncopated rhythms

[Refrain]
I saw the stars come out
I saw the oranges cracking open
I saw you standing there
Orange blossom in your hair
Going to Palestine
Going to Palestine
