Tori Amos - Operation Peter Pan

Operation Peter Pan by Tori Amos
It has been released as a b-side through the single of A Sorta Fairytale, taken from the album Scarlet's Walk.

Operation Peter Pan (Operación Peter Pan or Operación Pedro Pan), was an operation coordinated by the United States government (in particular the U.S. Department of State and Central Intelligence Agency), the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Miami, and certain Cubans. Between 1960 and 1962, over 14,000 children were sent from Cuba to Miami by their parents. The operation was designed to transport the children of parents who opposed the revolutionary government, and was later expanded to include children of parents concerned by rumors that their children would be shipped to Soviet work camps.With the help of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Miami and Monsignor Bryan O. Walsh, the children were placed with friends, relatives and group homes in 35 states.

Lyrics:

hola
rojo
morning to you
you always helped me chase demons away
don't know what I'll do without you
so Pan is the name of the plane

second to the right
straight on 'til morning
that's where I'll be waiting
second to the right
straight on 'til morning

hola
tick-tock
my time is up
Pedro says
I will forget him in days
in my new life, no room for a lost boy
boys can be so dumb sometimes

second to the right
straight on 'til morning
that's where I'll be waiting
second to the right
straight on 'til morning
straight on 'til morning

kiss Pedro for me
