The Magnetic Fields - Strange Powers Lyrics

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

And I can't sleep
'Cause you got strange powers
You're in my dreams
Strange powers

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

And I can't sleep
'Cause you got strange powers
You're in my dreams
Strange powers

The Sun falls down like honey
The Moon pours down like mercury
The stars fall down like money
And you come back to me
And I can't sleep
'Cause you got strange powers
You're in my dreams
Strange powers
And I can't sleep
'Cause you got strange powers
You're in my dreams
Strange powers
