A blues-inflected Florentinae retelling a classic fable. Themes of instinct, betrayal and impossible hope coil beneath a single haunting line.

Lyrics: Once upon a time/ There was a scorpion and a frog/ They were creatures of the water/ They were creatures of the land/ They had a lot in common/ They were fast friends/ Also they were in love

These two met at the bottom of a well/ How they got there, it’s hard to tell/ But when they both started singing/ The echo of their song/ Coming out of that well/ Drew the whole village out/ And they were saved/ By a bucket ride - outta hell

They were creatures of the water/ They were creatures of the land/ They had a lot in common/ They were fast friends/ Also they were in love/

Time went by

And one day the scorpion turned to the frog/ and said,/ “I’m tired/ and I’m hungry….”
