She's something that I won't have to quit 'Cause she won't make me sick Quick wisdom for cool recidivist Who always hides his wrists And always getting lost When the stations get crossed In the summer of 1961 But a new plan got hatched And it shone like the sun And I thought it was the one But it was nothing we haven't done before Don't think it's nothing Four thirty in the morning And twenty candles gone Well, did she pass out Or did she pass on? And did she go alone I'm on an island halfway across the world The tenderest girl I get lost in the trees And I pass like the breeze 'Cause I'm nothing you've haven't done before Don't think it's nothing California stars Fall through the sun And land on the shore Reborn in water And blasted through black holes The way out is in My leopard-spotted friend You help me begin Just to watch you descend A little more grown But you'll have to go alone 'Cause there's something That I can't forget But I'm still too
