i see the major
standing with a basket of flowers
grey bold and ice gold
and chasing in a dust bowl
don't turn the dial until the ships sail in
high and mighty tall and bold
and certainly the game is rigged
don't let that stop you
if you don't bet you can't win
farm loads and Poconos and
high heels in the shower
when a place gets so crowded
you need IDs, social collapse
isn't far away...
she focus out on de water
she looking way out on de wishbone
here come the man she love
standing on the marriage canoe
she gone and done what she told not to
done married that man
married that man, sunbeam
mama take out on de foot path
look to see what herb she need
mama mix it up in the hot pot
mumbling wish i may wish i might
no marry that man marry that man
sunbeam
bubble up bubble up
the potion is mixed
sunbeam, oo ah ooweo
sunbeam...
nine o'clock the lights dim down
you're the only one around
images pass before your face
and start your heart to race
the silver screen's absorbing you
mental obsessions coming through
colors begin to whip you 'round
lifting you off the ground
is this your only escape
do you need visual effect
to help you through the day
the hour's passing by
it won't last for very long
don't tell me that you're alright
when i know the real truth
it's another saturday night
and there's no one here but you
starry night on a lonely bridge
stands a girl with a tear in her eye
waiting there for the boy to come
she's waited there so long
geisha girl don't you worry
love comes in a hurry
you've waited so long
for the right boy to come
so geisha girl don't you cry
smokey bar in a dingy town
stands a boy with a beer in his hands
he meets her there on the lonely bridge
they've waited oh so long
green on green in the endless sea
watery night creatures pass me by
now i remain here and i can never leave
i could never find another life
to better suit me
all of my life as the night child
is coming to life before my very eyes
scene by scene
there's something strange here
between the water and i
what i'm seeing isn't the stuff of dreams
but it involves me
