There were islands where we spent the days There were hunting hounds by the palace grounds, believe me She had circles like Romany Marie She would start the day with the Novocaine, believe me By the end of the day There were coming shocks from the palace clocks, believe me There was nothing we could do or say We were holding hands in the garbage cans, believe me You can wish but this order is thinner than the glaze on a vase While the innkeep follows us the road gives in to haze And the smell of water comes You can wish but this order is thinner than the glaze on a vase You'll never win the game When you wander off keep your ballots soft, believe me Believe me You can wish but this order is thinner than the glaze on a vase You can wish but this order is thinner than the glaze on a vase
