Crystal Ball

Well I Woke Up in the Basement 
When I Woke Up in a Full-on Sixty-nine 
I Didn't Know Anything About Her 
And Everything Was Ok

She Made All These Little Noises 
And She Stopped But She Could Not Find the Light 
She Asked Was I Her Boyfriend 
And What Was I Supposed to Say?

Whoa Oh Oh Who's Got the Crystal 
Whoa Oh Oh Who's Got the Crystal 
Whoa Oh Oh Who's Got the Crystal 
Whoa Oh Oh Who's Got the Crystal Ball

I Was Walking On the Pavement 
And You Asked Me Can I Spare a Dime 
I Got Some Quarters From Canada 
That I Use For the Parkway

And I Walked Up to the Airport 
With My Smock and Slippers and My Dog
That'll Make It Through the Metal Detector
I Didn't Like 'em Anyway

Whoa Oh Oh Who's Got the Crystal 
Whoa Oh Oh Who's Got the Crystal 
Whoa Oh Oh Who's Got the Crystal 
Whoa Oh Oh Who's Got the Crystal Ball

Cheers to You It's Like a Dream You 
Live By Seeking Fortunes At the Door 
We Pick the Outer Room
Start to Slip in Colored Groove

Questioning Reality 
Children Holding Incense Across the Floor 
A Different World in Store 
Overjoyed As She Comes Back For...

Manatees On Tapestries 
See Them Wiggle Slowly Off the Wall 
The One Beneath You Moves
Brings You to a Seperate Room

Sailing in This Fantasy 
Like the Different World You Have in Store 
Her World Must Ebb and Flow
Dizzy Your Expected Blow

Well I Woke Up in the Basement 
No Matches, Teeth, Or Vital Signs 
She Was Looking For Her Mama
I Remember From the Dreamscape

And I Went to Get a Facelift 
But I Still Had to Chill and Wait in Line 
While My Brother Gets a Tummy Tuck
And My Brother Gets a Nosering

Whoa Oh Oh Who's Got the Crystal 
Whoa Oh Oh Who's Got the Crystal 
Whoa Oh Oh Who's Got the Crystal 
Whoa Oh Oh Who's Got the Crystal Ball
