He's got more self-control than all of us put together
If it's an act you'll never know
Futuristic deep-space poet man, he's living like a vision
Apocalyptic second-cousin to Rimbaud
What can I take from you?
Sweet elephant candy from a billion-dollar baby
Maybe it's the truth, I don't know
You and I have been through hell together
Maybe heaven could be better
If they see l'Andrew let him know
That we're soaking up the glow
Soak it up
Soak it up
Soakin' up the glow, yeah, yeah
Soak it up
Soak it
He had a dream that I shot shattered lyrics to the ether
In some faith infirmary we all know
Well, I never really wrote them, but I'm so proud when I hear them
All parading in their brand-new shiny clothes
And I thought of The Spiders
T-rex and Johnny Thunders
they were looking down in wonder
At some skinny boy from Cleveland, Ohio
Skinny boy from Cleveland, Ohio
Just some skinny boy from Cleveland, Ohio
Soaking up the glow
What can I take from you?
Sweet elephant candy from a billion-dollar baby
Maybe it's the truth, I don't know
You and I have been through hell together
Maybe heaven could be better
If they see l'Andrew let him know
That we're soaking up the glow
Soak it up
Soak it up
Soakin' up the glow, yeah
Soak it up, baby
Soak it up
Soak it up
Soakin' up the glow, yeah
