hypnotized lyrics

So that's how you found me
Rain falling around me
Looking down at a worm
With a long way to go
And the traffic was hissing by
And I was homesick and I was high

And I was surrounded by a language
In which I could say only hello
And thank you very much
But you spoke so I could understand
And I drew a treasure map on your hand

And you were no picnic
Well, you were no prize
But you had just enough pathos
To keep me hypnotized, hypnotized
Hypnotized, hypnotized, hypnotized

And the map led to an island
In a sea of store-bought dreams
Where soulless singers sang
Over beats built by machines

And lovely girls were hovering
Above my head like gulls
With their long slender necks
And their delicate skulls

And I was no picnic
No, I was no prize
But I had just enough sweetness
To keep you hypnotized, hypnotized
Hypnotized, hypnotized, hypnotized

So that's how you found me
Rain falling around me
Looking down at a worm
With a long way to go
