Woke up two days ago to a dream of a girl with a Diamond throat and she cut off her eyes and she kissed me like the sky Cant change that she ain't tamed and i wish her well, well shes gonna be on her way Farewell Cut the country down in size & i guess afterwards i realized what its like to be in Heaven. Wonderin what the story will tell when the world does seem to swell up and explode it'll turn into pieces of gold and we'll all and we'll all and we'll all, Pray Yeah we'll all Pray-- ey ey Heard a noise & a rattle snake yeah it wrapped up around me as i quivered and it started to shake, it started to shake. There goes that dandelion and so fine and so thirsty like a little sea lion well lets play, yeah lets play-ey ah. Heard about it in the afternoon Heard about it in the afternoon of May Or was it March, or was it March. She whispers only at the door and she sings like a siren yeah she sings like whore well for me, she does it all for me. Bye bye blackbird bye bye blackbird bye bye blackbird

Alien Girl 05:02
Told my mama today that she was gonna marry the preachers son but when i woke up from my dream I didn't realize i was the only one. Mama told me a story yesterday and she said it was the news. Well mama don't worry your pretty little heart cause thats just music called the blues. She told me about this afternoon man tried to commit suicide. Claimed he saw an alien and with his eyes was crucified. And the Alien said Mama told me yesterday was just a day ago But if i'm still living, Am i alive well she didn't know. Told me about this cave where men use to be puppeteers. I see the world around me and its still the same nothing but cheers. So lets laugh and say Lets laugh and say Mama told me to many things now I just look pretty away from my rings I open my eyes and i see myself for what i'm worth. I'm just a little beautiful blonde angel living on earth. A piece of meat to some but to a few i might be a little less, searching for a brave brave soul to bring me what this world calls caress. See i'm an alien that crucified a man for committing suicide. They talk about in the news a little boy the other day called me blue. He thinks that i'm a dream because his eyes can't see the beauty that I am. Am I an alien girl or just a girl that dreams well here on earth. Who knows that IMA. He knows that IMA.

Oye como canta Como canta Como canta El Sol Mira como canta Mira como canta Las estrellas ay como cantan de amor cuando cay Picasso de tu corazon Vida ven a gozar con los angeles viajemos con los angeles cuando canta yo sonrio mi amor y cuando no se enojan los amores claro que no ay como cantan los árboles contigo mirame quando llo pinto con signo cuando juego junto a ti todos nos vamos a ver ay que buscar los misterios que se encuentran en mi corazon ay que buscar los misterios que encuantras en todos los aires ay que buscar los misterios que ay en las luzes que nunca perdemos y cuando la gente se vay a los bainos y nadie se cansa y nadie se queda y nadie se cansa y nadie se queda y nadie se cansa y nadie se queda ay amor ay amor cuando jugamos a la media suerte con todo camino y toda la gente cuando jugamos a la media suerte con todo camino y toda la gente sonreímos sonreímos sonreímos amor sonreímos sonreímos sonreímos sonreímos amor sonreímos sonreímos sonreímos sonreímos amor Caemos toda la gente con miedo y como con miedo con miedo y como confiamos en el amor ay que por ahí giran todos los errores y todos caemos caemos otra vez caemos otra vez caemos otra vez caemos otra vez Callemos otra Vez
