lyrics

You dream of tall, black Betty and the heads talkin’ on the tube,
I know that time seems steady, but the Boson is heavy too.

Wanna dim the sun and kill the shade, and dance a little more,
Wanna kiss you like an animal, and take you to the floor.
Wanna wander ‘round the centuries, with madness on our trail,
Wanna breathe into The Holy Breath, until it sends us straight to Heaven!

Ah - oooh, I married a legend, you,
One who lives through the hunger, who reflects all the sun in the sky.
Netanyahu, Robespierre and Obama, too,
Well they can’t hold a votive to the power that your love provides.

Which seems to tell me, “time, oh well,” We’ll watch as it starts to melt,
It’s not your fault, It’s just the way your heart is.

And then along came Betty, and we sat down to hear the truth,
She said that time seems steady, but the rhythm can get the blues.

Wanna scream your name above the clouds, and dance a little more,
Wanna kiss you like an atom bomb, and take off every door.
Wanna wander ‘round El Santander, con banditos estatales.
Wanna hold inside The Holy Breath, until it sends us straight to Heaven!

Ah - oooh, I married a legend, you.
One who lives through the hunger, who reflects all the sun in the sky.
Netanyahu, Robespierre and Vladimir, too,
Well they can’t hold a votive to the power that your love provides.

Ah - oooh, I married a legend, you,
One who lives through the hunger, who can fend off the solar attacks.
Fuckin’ Donahue, Billy C. and the Fonzie, too,
Well they can’t hold auditions to the power that your love attracts.

Which always whispers, “time, oh well,” We’ll laugh as it starts to melt.
It’s not your fault, It’s just the way your heart is.
