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
