A clot, a pencil, Buckle head!
A peter blight comes shining down on you
Shining down on you.
The plot of movie, Clearasil
Aurora Borealis comes in you!
Aurora comes in you!
A cloud appears above your head
A beam of light comes shining down on you
Shining down on you
The cloud is moving nearer still
Aurora Borealis comes in view
Aurora comes in view.
A crowd of hairs above your head
A beam of light comes shining down on you
Shining down on you
The clown goes to the carousel
Aurora Borealis comes into you
Aurora comes into you.
A cloud appears above your head
A beam of light comes shining down on you
Shining down on you
The cloud is moving nearer still
Aurora Borealis comes in view
Aurora comes in view.
A row of Coney Islands comes in view.
Aurora Borealis comes in view.
And I am
A man so far away
And I ran
I ran so far away
And I am
I am so far away
And I ran
I ran so far away
And I can, I can so far away.
And I ran, I ran so far away.
And I have a man so far away
And I ran
I ran so far away
And I met
A man so far away
And I ran
I ran so far away
And Iran, Iran's so far away
And I ran, I ran so far away
And by land, a land so far away.
And I ran, I ran so far away.
Another boring Arseis comes in you.
Aurora Borealis comes in view.
Aurora comes in blue.
Aurora comes in view.
Be a girl like you
Need a girl like you
Hittin' the tight with you
Hypnotized me through
I rambled night and day
I ran both night and day
I thought I never meet a girl like a fool.
I thought I never meet a girl like you.
I'm gonna get a Piedmont flight with you.
I'm floating in a beam of light with you.
Meet a girl like you
With auburn hair and a turn in her eye
Meet a girl like you
With auburn hair and tawny eyes
Meet a girl like you
With clouds of hair and stormy eyes
Meet a girl like you
With auburn hair and tawny eyes
With all the hair and phony eyes
With auburn hair and tawny eyes
And Iraq
Iraq's so far away
I just ran in
Iraq all night and day
And I ran
I ran so far away
I just ran
I ran all night and day
With all the hair and stormy eyes
With auburn hair and tawny eyes
