Ethiopia Lyrics

[Instrumental]

[Verse 1]
Well, she stand alone in the desert sand
And she cries like a black guitar
When I hear that sound, well
My heart begin to pound
And I know that I won't get far

[Chorus]
She's so evil
She's so evil
She's so evil

[Verse 2]
Well, her eyes are shinin' like a silver spoon
And her mouth is a burning red
She got snakes in her hair
I don't really care
I gotta get her out of my head

[Chorus]
She's so evil
She's so evil
She's so evil
She's so evil
She's so evil
She's so evil

[Instrumental]

  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

Genius Annotation

Fully demonstrating Haim Romano’s guitar skills, most of this song is an instrumental guitar piece, with a few verses squeezed in between.

The song is about a woman whom the singer wants to avoid, yet he can’t – he is too drawn to her charms. The lyrics use scenic depictions and allusions to other characters to describe the feelings he gets when he sees her.

Genius Answer

This song was born out of some kick ass weed that an American chick brought us from Africa, supposedly Ethiopia. I got the start of the instrumental part and we took it from there.
