Lyrics
Oh, don’t say it
The word is dirt
She became
That dirty word
I can’t bear it
She bore a son
Imagine loving
Only one
You can have a soma holiday and travel to the moon
Slipping out of time and tripping all afternoon
Oh, these mountains
My eyes are bored
My legs are aching
But thank our Ford
I can have a soma holiday and travel to the moon
Slipping out of time and tripping for the afternoon
Have a soma holiday, escape a savage view
Carry me away, I’ll be here in my room
Never feel alone
Never be at home
Never be alone
See them budding
Watch them grow
Man is better
That we know
You can have a soma holiday and travel to the moon
Slipping out of time and tripping for the afternoon
Have a soma holiday and miss the darkest hour
Listen to synthetics and kiss the big T Tower
