Strange Powers Lyrics - The Magnetic Fields

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 saccharine 

What a golden age 

What a time of right and reason 

The consumers king 

And unhappiness is treason 

And I can't sleep 

'Cause you got strange powers 

You're in my dreams 

Strange powers 

The sun pours down like money 

The moon runs down like mercury 

The stars fall down like money 

And you come down 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
