Elliott :
Olivier(O): -
They say Im full of poison
O:
Im full of poison and grace
O:
Im the invisible man here
O:
I leave my footprints all over the place
O:
Well off with their heads cries the May Queen
O:
Babe Ruth says heads up to you
O:
When youre riding on an American dream
O:
It only matters what the linemen do.
O:
Hello from Alaska, from Madagascar or Detroit
Olivier:
Well Ive been watching midnight cowboy, I want a fringed coat like John Voight.
O:
Verse :
Well I was working in a shoe shop
O:
When Cinderella dropped by
O:
She tried on some glass running shoes
O:
I stole a glimpse of her thigh
O:
hadnt spoken to her sisters
O:
they got her busted from dealing ecstasy
O:
She said well she might be living in a pumpkin
O:
But you know her sisters were living in spiritual poverty.
O:
Hello from Moscow, from Oshkow and Saint Pete
O:
Well Ive been watching east of Eden, whatever happened to Joann Fleet
O:
Verse :
Oh Im living in a strange world
O:
At least it looks that way to me
O:
Am I the boy in bubble
O:
Or am I the old man and the sea
O:
Heres to Frankenstein and Dracula
O:
But their needs seem ordinary and plain
O:
When you compare them to those fanatical believers
O:
I hear theyre always expecting rain
O:
Hello from Milano, from Amarillo and city on the plain
O:
Ive been watching sons of Katy Elder, I like that graceful strut of John Wayne
O:
Verse :
You know I was born in the suburbs
O:
Though I never understood what sub was
O:
Shopping malls, shiny cars, I felt like a soap opera star
O:
I couldnt stay there enough was enough
O:
Sometimes what you think is mediocre
O:
Might turn extraordinary someday
O:
What makes you laugh tomorrow
O:
May be the same things that make you cry today
O:
Goodbye from Manhattan, from Garden City and Jackson Heights
O:
Oh Ive been digging Jackson Pollack He paints canvas like its a heavyweight fight.
O:
Have I mentioned love what must I be thinking
O:
To my wedding knees I knealt
O:
Love yourself, love your neighbor I love your shoes
O:
I love the way they match your snakeskin belt
O:
Lowboy rides the subway
O:
Hes trapped in a world all his own
O:
You stop your medications
O:
Youll find reality in the marrow of your bones
O:
Greetings from Honolulu, from Sioux City and Asbury Park
O:
Ive been listening to Nebraska Johnny 99 hits 100 as the New Jersey sky turns dark
O:
