Well Houdini's still stuck in that doctoral book The one place he can never escape And your voice on the phone is like one of those paintings Where everything loses it's shape And the girl 'cross the street is as light on her feet As sunlight dancing on crome
And I'm Sad, sad, sad, sad,and far away from home
Once I was standing on a Dublin street corner I heard a fiddler pierce the veil of illusion And once I got plastered at my best friends Bar-Mitzfah Once I lived in perfect confusion Once I was 11, once I was just atoms Once I was a hilltop in Rome
And I'm Sad, sad, sad, sad, and far away from home
La di di da di di di.........
Now a kiss is just a flower that a bee can return from And do his little dance at the hive Pehaps it's worth metioning as I write down this song I am the happiest fucker alive For the seashore cries out for the painter to paint it And the wind whips the water into foam
And I'm Sad, sad, sad, sad,and far away from home
And I'm Sad, sad, sad, sad, and far away from home
