Badadadadadadadadum badadadadadadada da da da-adum
Badadadadadadadadum badadadadadadada da da da-adum
I have been stripped of a layer of meaning
I fell through the floor, watched you rise through the ceiling
She's so high, higher than thought can think
*
A mere sprite, like one of the nubilate, so hold tight
*
She radiates light from her jokes, it's what men prefer
They need the centre of things
The centre of things
I watched them packing up all Sunday morning
The day of the fourth and they fled without warning
It's so bright, the sun almost burns your eyes
*
A cruel fight, I feel I can sympathise famine
*
It pours over boiling words, it's more than we deserve
Love is a beautiful curse
A beautiful curse
Badadadadadadadadum badadadadadadada da da da-adum
*
She said "I'm stained like a girl from the bowrie"
I pay my respects to her hourly
I'm just so clumsy and circumspect, never know what it meant
*
Perhaps it was heaven sent
She's so high, this kitten on gasoline
*
And codeine, fuelled by her medicine
She lies back
*
"Handsome" she says again "You've always been my friend
Lord, it's the loveliest day
The loveliest day"
Badadadadadadadadum badadadadadadada da da da-adum
Badadadadadadadadum badadadadadadada da da da-adum
Instrumental: ?
I have been stripped of a layer of meaning
I fell through the floor, watched you fly through the ceiling
And I find, you're finer than porcelain
*
Or bromide on silver gelatin in blue sky
*
She's carried by seraphim, aptly named vallium
Into the arms of the night
The arms of the night
Badadadadadadadadum badadadadadadada da da da-adum
Badadadadadadadadum badadadadadadada da da da da-adum
