    Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, She got the Mercedes Benz
    She's got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, that she calls friends
    How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat.

    He said, 'We haven't had that spirit here since 1969'
    And still those voices are calling from far away
    Wake you up in the middle of the night
    Just to hear them say...

    I had to find the passage back to the place I was before
    'Relax' said the nightman, We are programed to receive.
