When Amber sings it's like a blind confession
Broken notes like Christmas lights are hanging from her hands
When Amber plays the Mellotron then all the shadows listen
Everybody dances although no one understands

A holy glinting lock is endricurled in miles around her
Each ventricle springs down like hunting jazzy would astound her
We try and try to make it right
We elevate the wire and walk the multitudes all night
In the morning the egg yolk comes up and clouds clear from the sky
All the water in the world would not make us remember why

When Amber takes my hand I can't say no to nothing
She speaks in melody so words get all confused
She's got this electric smile that leads to tribulation
Skyscraper window teeth and lips a drunken rouge

My secret hands have got twelve fingers and we play together
A song that her three mothers taught her long before this weather
Behind our eyes no sane person knows that
Petals coil into the center of a lotus rose
We awaken esoteric synthesizer chords
In a little lean-to shack made of slimy rotting boards

Who has seen the eyes of Barbarella in the wasteland
Where bad drummers bang along to "Stairway to Heaven"
Me and my girl we're there every night
A couple mirages to stir up a fight
