Sometimes I wish I hadn't gotten that tattoo Sometimes I wish I'd married you
One hundred fires
One hundred days
Sometimes I feel like a stranger
Sometimes I tell lies (Whoa ho)
Sometimes I act like a monkey
Here come the night
And then kerjillions of stars start to shine
And icy comets go whizzing by
And everything's shaking with a strange delight And here it is: the enormous night
And oo my eyes
They're lookin all around
And oo my feet
I'm upside down
If I were the president
If I were Queen for a day
I'd give the ugly people all the money
I'd re-write the Book of Love
I'd make it funny
Wheel of fortune
Wheel of fame
Two hundred forty million voices
Two hundred forty million names
And down in the ocean where nobody goes
Some fish are fast
Some are slow
Some swim round the world
Some hide below
This is the ocean
So deep
So old.
And then kerjillions of stars start to shine
And icy comets go whizzing by
And everything's shaking with a strange delight And here it is: the enormous night
And oo my eyes
They're lookin all around
And oo my feet
They've left the ground
So cry me a river that leads to a road
That turns into a highway that goes and goes
And tangles in your memories
So long
So old.
