Stephin Merritt - Strange Powers lyrics

[Verse 1] On the Ferris wheel Looking out on Coney Island Under more stars than There are prostitutes in Thailand Our hair in the air Our lips blue from cotton candy When we kiss, it feels Like a flying saucer landing [Chorus] And I can't sleep Cause you got strange powers You're in my dreams Strange powers [Verse 2] In Las Vegas where The electric bills are staggering The decor hog wild And the entertainment saccharin What a golden age What a time of right and reason The consumer's king And unhappiness is treason [Chorus] And I can't sleep Cause you got strange powers You're in my dreams Strange powers [Verse 3] The Sun falls down like honey The Moon pours down like mercury The stars fall down like money And you come back to me Strange powers
