Hypnotized

So that's how you found me

Rain falling around me

Looking down at a worm

With a long way to go

And the traffic was hissing by

And I was homesick and I was high

And I was surrounded by a language

In which I could say only hello

And thank you very much

But you spoke so I could understand

And I drew a treasure map on your hand

And you were no picnic

Well, you were no prize

But you had just enough pathos

To keep me hypnotized, hypnotized

Hypnotized, hypnotized, hypnotized

And the map led to an island

In a sea of store-bought dreams

Where soulless singers sang

Over beats built by machines

And lovely girls were hovering

Above my head like gulls

With their long slender necks

And their delicate skulls

And I was no picnic

No, I was no prize

But I had just enough sweetness

To keep you hypnotized, hypnotized

Hypnotized, hypnotized, hypnotized

So that's how you found me

Rain falling around me

Looking down at a worm

With a long way to go
