Is it Ipanema; or I **m** panema?

Has she a dirty mind?  
Can she see or is she blind?  
Can she talk at all,  
As she walks she bumps a wall?  
Does she see people dead?  
Has she thoughts within her head  
We’ll just pass her there  
Why should we even dare

She was turned to steel  
In a glowing vaginal field  
Where she traveled time  
For the vagina of mankind

Everybody wants her  
She just rules their world  
Planning her vengeance  
That she will soon unfold

Now the time is here  
For Silver Fire to spread endless fear  
Vengeance from the grave  
Flirts with the people she once saved

Everybody wants her  
They just turn their heads  
Everybody helps her  
Now she rules their world

Heavy boots of dread  
Fills her victims full of lead  
Running as fast as they can  
Silver Fire lives again!

It’s Ipanema. A neighborhood (or suburb) of Rio de Janerio, I believe.

I did a google search on both, and got a number of hits for each. Both spellings had hits for “the girl from…”
