Magnetic Fields - “Strange Powers” from 1998’s “Holiday”

On the ferris wheel looking out on Coney island
Under more stars than there are prostitues 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’ve got strange powers
You’re in my dreams
Strange powers

In Las Vegas where the electric bills are straggring
The decor hog wild and the entertainment saccharine
What a Golden age, what a time of right and reason
The consumer’s king and unhappyness is treason

And I can’t sleep
‘Cause you’ve got strange powers
You’re in my dreams
Strange powers

The sun pours down like honey
The moon comes down like mercury
The stars fall down like money
And you come down to me

And I can’t sleep
‘Cause you’ve got strange powers
You’re in my dreams
Strange powers
