I was like you - a dot, a figure or a point on a star
I could be king, a knight, a fraggle or a Johnny Guitar
Cast in the mirrored light, ten stories high,
the serpent lays below the light
Don't look down

I had a Mom, a Dad, a sister in the back of the car
Frightened by every living creature
'till she cut through the dark
Saw her reflection in the screaming ice,
fell in love not even twice -
or three times

Love struck quick Was like a razor's flick
Hand to eyes to mouth
The Angels cried when they sent you south,
but you will - you will - you will be happy
in spite of the shit and the pain of it
A little dream of flags on an inky ship
You will ride five colored horses
Open sesame Open your lips
Oh, I will

Everything big - so full of nothing
that I just didn't need
Licking you like
an all day sucker game of Mumbletypeg
You are the little thing that I understand
like playing in this Rock and Roll band
We roll along

Something grew between the black and blue
Heart to fill a house
A love so true, now there is no doubt that you will,
you will - you will be happy
In spite of the shit and the pain of IT
A little dream of flags on an inky ship,
in a land of mock believe
Open sesame, steady your knees
Oh, I will

Your love is a flower I pluck from your hair
We park by the water; our bodies laid bare
The right of the wrong The sound of the song
You will - you will be happy
Despite of the shit and the pain of IT
A little dream of flags on an inky ship,
But you will ride five colored horses
Open sesame Steady your knees
Oh, I will
