lyrics

High heels on a Ferris wheel
Kicking up a line of smoke that fills the fields
I gotta get some shoes that won’t slow me down
The whistle’s blowing
Someone calls all aboard

A frosty glass, an ode to spring
Bear with me I’ll bear along with you
For all these wicked butterflies
Their medals pinned to wide lapels
they tear from the wear

Flying over towns
They’re so familiar
I can tell I’m headed home

Pass me the gin
Here’s to hope we will land
Without a scratch
A horse can’t light your cigarette, baby
He can’t strike a match

Take a leap in the dark
Cover up your eyes
Live in dreamland with me
The fountains are flowing with wine

Feel your way without hands
Only use your mind
Live in dreamland with me
All that is yours can be mine

The missing link came drifting by
A woman said that she’d remembered him
As a child
And when certain facts just wouldn’t add
The circus clown suggested a return
To the wild

Well, I bit my tongue
That clown gave me the same advice
When I was young
And I jumped the gun

Let’s forget reality
Leave it far behind
Live in dreamland with me
A couple of shells on the shore

We go down to the depths
Before we hit new highs
Live in dreamland with me
All that is mine can be yours
All that is yours can be mine

There’s never less, only more
The fountains are flowing with wine
Everything yours can be mine
Everything mine can be yours
