about

Summer. III

lyrics

She entered my life
The world was like
A magic wonderland
Soft fingers in my hand

She's got the mind of a child
Eyebrows so thick and wild
The face of a Disney villain
The body of a super girl vixen
Thin raven hair of Bettie Page
My queen of the stars in the Space Age

Sweet dreams Marie
I know you long to touch me
A heart drenched in doubt
'Neath the lights of the city

Sweet dreams Marie
Won't you escape with me
An innocent reborn
Pink lights of the city

Through film red tinted black and white
Mickey Mouse sweater in soft light
Thick make-up on her down caste eyes
Stocking up her luscious thighs

Sweet dreams Marie
I know you long to touch me
A heart drenched in doubt
'Neath the lights of the city

Sweet dreams Marie
Won't you escape with me
An innocent reborn
Pink lights of the city

If I drop her she'll shatter like a porcelain doll
She tfeels the world is large and she is so small
Behind the cellophane wall in the neon lights
Like Pinocchio I strive to bring her alive
Make her heart sing
Set her chest aflame

Sweet dreams Marie
I know you long to touch me
A heart drenched in doubt
'Neath the lights of the city

Sweet dreams Marie
Won't you escape with me
An innocent reborn
Pink lights of the city

I often drift in fantasy
While my mind sits quietly
Clouds hang low in the blue marble sky
Beach waves in and out by our side
Summer warmth braces our skin
Through the throws of love we are born again

Sweet dreams Marie
I know you long to touch me
A heart drenched in doubt
'Neath the lights of the city

Sweet dreams Marie
Won't you escape with me
An innocent reborn
Pink lights of the city
