Dandelion Lyrics

Roland Orzabal Dandelion

Bright light over the rainbow
Stay bright, dressed up in day-glow
Laid back, where does the day go?
If I stand tall can you see my halo?

Princess came with a big bang
Intense under a wigwam
Witness the birth of a nation
The pigs came 'round and they saved your bacon

Hey now, watch out, kid
She's playing with your mind and there's no denying
Hey now, watch out, kid
She's blowing you apart like a dandelion

Whiplash, killed the cockroach
White trash, give 'em enough rope
White lies, Tower of Babel
The world spins round and it turns the tables

Timespan, these are the deadlines
Spaceman, I'm in the headlines
Hot tramp, Marilyn Monroe
Does time stand still when you're stuck in a wormhole?

Hey now, watch, out kid
She's playing with your mind and there's no denying
Hey now, watch out, kid
She's blowing you apart like a dandelion

Snakebite, some kind of voodoo
Midlife crisis upon you
Uptight, Babylon rages
Do apes cry rape when you rattle their cages?

Hey now, watch out, kid
She's playing with your mind and there's no denying
Hey now, watch out, kid
She's blowing you apart like a dandelion

Hey now, watch out, kid
She's playing with your mind and there's no denying
Hey now, watch out, kid
She's blowing you apart like a dandelion
