My friend said "you've got to move the molecules around"
I said, "what a marvellous idea"
Well I seem to be in limbo
My feet stuck in the ground
Somewhere between paralysis and fear
Switch off that desert sunset
Turn on those neon lights
Switch off that old time radio, you know
Love's in town tonight
The picture in your head
Is fixed by frame of mind
The point of view depends on who you think you are each time
Switch off that desert sunset
Turn on those neon lights
Switch off that old time radio, you know
Love's in town tonight
Liberace candelabra sparkles in the gloom
Illuminates piano keys and dances round my room
Something moves along the waters
Shadow turns to bone
The smoke that leaves this cigarette
Sings like a saxophone, like a saxophone
Switch off that desert sunset
'Cause love's in town tonight
Switch off that desert sunset
The picture in your head
Is fixed by frame of mind
The point of view depends on who you think you are each time
Well, every night like clockwork
Sun sets in the West
Starlight shines like diamond dust
And my dreams are all undressed
Somewhere in the middle distance
Train runs down the track
In search of dreaming desert sunsets...
