lyrics

You walked out of a Greek mythological sequence
Hand-in-hand with a lizard who was squawking
Like a tightrope card-carrying bard in Barcelona, Spain
The place where it mainly rains on the plain

You were stretching out your elastic in the backyard
With a clothespin that was dancing in the sunlight
As it self-immolated in a tiny burning flame
A candle does the same in Lemon Spain

You were in the Red Cross saving other peoples' lives
And every time you saw their blood you broke out into hives
Your uniform was frayed and torn, your face was full of lines
So I went to the drugstore where the people were so kind

And there I bought you all the things that you never really
Wanted, rubber helicopter dipped in chocolate
Floating out in two parallel lines to Gibraltar near Spain
The place with the very very very big rock

You were living out in the outback of Australia
With your post card and your locomotive sailor
Consuming halibut from a metal bowl
That dripped a stain in the very same shape as Lemon Spain
