Wipe away the summer air
You don't wanna see
That's you in that photograph from 1973
And you don't even know me
God only knows I wanna be
The other side of misery
Gimme a plate of Fluorescein
I'm gonna paint an ugly scene
All of the things I wanna say
Can't get a word out anyway
Falling away after today
Nothing to lose so come what may
Don't wake me
You got away from me somehow
And all we tried to be
Everything is different now
The mind's eye fails to see
And all we know is TV
God only knows I wanna be
The other side of misery
Gimme a plate of Fluorescein
I'm gonna paint an ugly scene
All of the things I wanna say
Can't get a word out anyway
Falling away after today
Nothing to lose so come what may
Don't wake me
Don't wake me
Don't wake me
Inside I rise above the summer world
Inside I rise above the summer...
God only knows I wanna be
The other side of misery
Falling away after today
Nothing to lose so come what may
[God only knows I wanna be]
Don't wake me
[The other side of misery]
Don't wake me
[Gimme a plate of Fluorescein]
Don't wake me
[I'm gonna paint an ugly scene]
God only knows I wanna be
The other side of misery
Gimme a plate of Fluorescein
I'm gonna paint an ugly scene
