The words:
I love the girl w/the glowinthedark veins
Especially when she pretends that she's insane
And ties me up in chains
And then she just complains
It's raining in her brain, again
I love the girl with the sun in her eyes
Cause when she calls it's such a surprise
She's wonderful and wise
But when I catch her lies
She shuts her yellow eyes, and cries
She's just a child, you see
From another century
She's not like you and me
She's got some place to be
And when she has to go
She always lets me know
The chains she leaves behind
Are only in my mind
So now she's gone, I never know where to
I'll call her back again if I dare to
Or was it just a dream
Inside another dream
I'll wake up from in time to scream
I wanna sing her serenades (ooh la la la)
And wear her bug-eyed shades (ahh so cool)
And join her escapades (ya wanna?)
Until her beauty fades (...later...)
She's from that famous line
And she never will be mine
And so she said these words
To me: "be free"
I love the girl w/the glowinthedark veins
Especially when she pretends that she's insane
And ties me up in chains
And then she just complains
It's raining in her brain, again
Be free...
