The Magnetic Fields - Strange Powers lyrics

on the ferris wheel. looking out on coney island. under more stars than. there are prostitues in thailand. our hair in the air. our lips blue from cotton candy. when we kiss it feels. like a flying saucer landing. and i can't sleep. cause you got strange powers. your in my dreams. strange powers. in Las Vegas where the electric bills are straggring. the decor hog wild. and the etertainment saccharin. what a golden age, what a time of right and reason. the consumers king and unhappyness is treason. and i can't sleep. cause you got strange powers. your in my dreams. strange powers. the sun falls down like money. the moon pours down like mercury. the stars fall down like money. and you come back to me. strange powers.

Corrected version:

Strange Powers

on the ferris wheel

looking out on Coney island

under more stars than

there are prostitutes in Thailand

our hair in the air

our lips blue from cotton candy

when we kiss it feels

like a flying saucer landing

and i can't sleep

cause you got strange powers

you're in my dreams

strange powers

in Las Vegas where

the electric bills are staggering

the decor hog wild

and the entertainment saccharine

what a golden age

what a time of right and reason

the consumers king

and unhappiness is treason

and i can't sleep

cause you got strange powers

you're in my dreams

strange powers

the sun pours down like money

the moon runs down like mercury

the stars fall down like money

and you come down to me

and i can't sleep

cause you got strange powers

you're in my dreams

strange powers

and i can't sleep

cause you got strange powers

you're in my dreams

strange powers
