Lyrics

Something Special (ver. 1)

He said you blew more than his mind
Now I feel so stupid sometimes
Casting my pearls before swine
I'll take all of you one-at-a-time
I've got an interview with ABC
The Dalai Lama and me

I thought we had something special
I thought we had something special
One-thousand miles from sea level
I thought we had something special

He said you blew more than his mind
Now I feel so stupid sometimes
Casting my pearls before swine
I'll take all of you one-at-a-time
I've got an interview with ABC
The Dalai Lama and me

I thought we had something special
I thought we had something special
One-thousand miles from sea level
I thought we had something special

I'm wilting like lavender
In December, in December

I thought we had something special
I thought we had something special
One-thousand miles from sea level
I thought we had something special

Something Special (ver. 6)

I thought I lay with a goddess
In a bed of frozen flowers
I thought a cure had been found
For every wound and every bug
I thought that there would be no suffering
The final slug had been shot

I thought we had something special
I thought we had something special
One-thousand miles from sea level
I thought we had something special
