Walking to refrigerator.
To the pump, do the bump.

A small remembrance of something more solid.
All i want is a picture of you.

Toe to toe, dancing very close.
Body breathing almost comatose.
Wall to wall, people hypnotized.
And they're stepping lightly.
Hang each night, in rapture.
In rapture.
Back to back, sacroiliac.
Spineless movement and a wild attack.
Face to face, sightless solitude.
And it's finger popping.
Twenty four hour shopping in rapture.
Fab five freddy told me everybody's fly.
D.j. spinning, i said, "my, my."

And you don't stop, sure shot.
Go out to the parking lot.
And you get in your car and drive real far.
And you drive all night and then you see a light.
And it comes right down and it lands on the ground.
And out comes the man from mars.
And you try to run but he's got a gun.
And he shoots you dead and he eats your head.
And then you're in the man from mars.
You go out at night eating cars.
You eat cadillacs, lincolns too.
Mercurys and subaru.
And you don't stop.
You keep on eating cars.
Then when there's no more cars you go out at night
And eat up bars where the people meet.
Face to face.
Dance cheek to cheek.
One to one.
Man to man.
Dance toe to toe.
Don't move too slow 'cause the man from mars is through with cars.
He's eating bars.
Yeah, wall to wall.
Door to door.
Hall to hall.
He's gonna eat 'em all.

What's all that commotion going on?
The boy in the back on his second attack wants his baby back.
Wants his baby back.
What's all that commotion that you hear?
The girl in the back who was doing the quake got a belly ache.
She can't concentrate.
Pick up the beat, you can move like you're made out of vapor.
"catch me if you can" is what she said with her hands.
Come on and take me back.
Can you take her back?
When she gives you the beat and you get the shine, the world slows down and she stops on a dime.
Got a number when you close your eyes like a real magician.
Still she knows she'll never lose a thing.
She can put you up on a shelf until she wants to pull the string.
Still you know she'll never slip away.
Keep time in your head, counting in your head.
Slow motion.
I can play with time.
I can keep today but tomorrow's fine.
Stop and look at the pictures rolling in your head.
Slow motion.
You can play with time.
You can leave her today but tomorrow's fine.
Stop and live in your dreams at night, rolling in your bed.
Slow motion, you can stop on a dime.
Slow motion, you ought to try it sometime.
Take me back on another track.
Take me back, take me back.
Slow motion, you can pick up the beat.
Slow motion, you can stop on the street.
Take me back on another track.
Take me back, take me back.

Was it destiny?
I don't know yet.
Was it just by chance?
Could this be kismet?
Something in my consciousness told me you'd appear,
Now i'm always touched by your presence, dear.
When we play at cards you use an extra sense.
(it's really not cheating)
You can read my hand, i've got no defense.
When you sent your messages whispered loud and clear,
I am always touched by your presence, dear.
Floating pass the evidence of possibilities.
We could navigate together,psychic frequencies.
Coming into contact with outer entities.
We could entertain each one with our theosophies.
Stay awake at night and count your r.e.m.'s when you're talking with your super friends.
Levitating lovers in the secret stratosphere.
I am still in touch with your presence, dear.
I am still in touch with your presence, dear.
I am still in touch with your presence, dear, dear, dear, dear, dear.

Close your eyes and you will see micro flashing neon lights.
Open your eyes and you will see it still looks like the same thing.
Lie and wait for sleep and listen to your heart beat too fast for sleep.
Close your eyes and you will see the sound-a-sleep.
I want to go, i want to go, i want to go down to go to sleep.
Your frame of reference is my swimming pool.
My, my swimming pool still looks like the china sea.
Pool to sea and finally the sound-a-sleep.
Feel the muscles in your face twitch, relax, remembering everything that went down and will go down.
I want to go down to sleep.
Insomnia, no sleep disease, petties parking, feed me please.
Lie and wait for sleep and listen to your heart beat too fast for sleep.

There's something 'bout his kisses... that tells me he's changed.
I know there's something missing inside.
(tell me more)
Something died.
(still in the street)
His heart, his heart is out in the streets.

He grew up on the sidewalk, streetlights shining above.
He grew up with no one to love.

He grew up on the sidewalk, he grew up running free.
He grew up and then he met me.

He don't hang around with the gang no more.
Gee, he doesn't smile like he did before.

(ooh)
I wish i didn't care.
I wish i'd never met him.

They're waiting out there, so i got to set him free.
