  • Child of limousines
    What's the best place that you have seen
    All of the hands that you have shook
    Home of the queen of everything fancy
    Is there a smell that you can tell
    Gives you some peace sends you to hell
    All of the beds that you have yearned
    Is there a dream to where you'd return
    Where is the plight with the most stars
    Where do you drink by Echo guitars
    What's the best shore seen from a boat
    Miniature heads that color the shore line
    If you could rest a minute to tell
    Get me some grass, iridescent shells
    I know there's a nest fit with a hatch
    Sunset a glowin' makes us all sweaty

    I don't even know where to begin
    Or how I should start these days
    The green mountain south or
    The Clay of the westerns
    The Maryland meadows at midnight
    They do have a misty grace
    Take a trip to blue bayou
    Find Roy Orbison cryin'
    A continent molded from glass
    Or maybe a town I can taste
    Dresses that glow on
    Girls from Barcelona
    I wanna discover the key
    And open the everywhere place
    A mix of sky from Montana
    Dipped in Florida-da

    Flori, Flori, Flori, Flori, Florida
    Florida-da, Florida-da
    Flori, Flori, Flori, Flori, Florida
    Florida-da, Florida-da
    Flori, Flori, Flori, Flori, Florida

    Old demented men
    Where is the place we can extend
    Crooked state lines, polka dot signs
    Say that this place is a state of mind
    Pretty lip girls paint me the halls
    Not on a street, not near a mall
    Raise me a thumb from human skin
    That isn't judged by where it begins
    Show me the clams, show me the pearls
    Mail me a note sent from a world
    That isn't so far and always right here
    Where all the boundaries have disappeared
    And all the nights are stitched with a glue
    That's sticking to me, and I'll stick to you
    I'll take your hands, you'll take my face
    And everywhere home will be a good place

    I found myself there a collagin'
    With all of the human race
    A dancer from Ghana
    Smiling in Tijuana
    I Frankenstein java with touches of Prada
    And corn on the plates
    A smear of gardenia
    In the fair hair of sweden
    And maybe I actually visited
    Some sort of mythical place
    Or was it a future
    Connected by sutures
    Oh let's go get lost in the image
    I made of the everywhere place
    I see the lads from Osaka
    Dyed in Florida-da

    Flori, Flori, Flori, Flori, Florida
    Florida-da, Florida-da
    Flori, Flori, Flori, Flori, Florida
    Florida-da, Florida-da

    Where's the bridge that's gonna take me home?
    The bridge that someone's fighting over
    A bridge that someone's paying for
    A bridge so old so let it go
    Where's the bridge that's gonna take me home?
    The bridge that someone's fighting over
    A bridge that someone's paying for
    A bridge so old so let it go
    Where's the bridge that's gonna take me home?
    The bridge that someone's fighting over
    A bridge that someone's paying for
    A bridge so old so let it go
    Where's the bridge that's gonna take me home?
    The bridge that someone's fighting over
    A bridge that someone's paying for
    A bridge so old so let it go
