And if you want these kind of dreams

Pay your surgeon very well
To break the spell of aging

Space may be the final frontier
But it's made in a Hollywood basement

But it also breeds creation
And earthquakes are to a girl's guitar
They're just another good vibration
And tidal waves couldn't save the world
