lyrics (c) 1995 Jonathan Caws-Elwitt
I met her in a decorated dream
Where poppies glow like points of light
Exploding into joy
She took me to a seaside mezzanine
Where hotels shaped like ocean liners
Float down neon streets
Peacock feathers frame her head
And all her ringlets smell like flowers
Legs like graceful pillars stand
As monuments to perfect beauty
We sipped champagne from stained-glass, jeweled carafes
With ornamental lettering
Embossed across the skies
We rode around on lavender giraffes
With smiling serifs, winking dots
Above her vibrant eyes
Floral borders frame her face
And all her fleshtones look like sunlight
Lips like tingling ecstasy
With presents for her chosen
I met her in a decorated dream
With buildings shaped like ice-cream cones
As brushstrokes all around
She's there in all my illustrated scenes
In pastel-painted candy structures
Rising from the ground
