LYRICS

Welcome to the land of the permanent sun
Where the flowers are melted and the future is fun
The freeway lizards are all feelin' so good
From a one-way trip back to West Hollywood, let's go
Feels so good to have a perfect song
I feel so good to be in total control
I feel so good to have a perfect song
I feel so good to be in total control

There were spotlights flying, through the sky
From a winter wonderland, catching out
The beasts hiding in the clouds, no future, bad man
Not before Christmas, not very likely
One hundred million Viagra tablets
Stored in a warehouse... in a valley (laughs)

Feels so good to have a perfect song (uh-huh)
I feel so good to be in total control (uh-huh)
Feels so good to have a perfect song (uh-huh)
I feel so good to be in total control (uh-huh)

It's so convincing, but something's missing
The sun is kissing my face and erasing my doubts
I'm going out with a bang, and the fangs of a parasite
Are feeling alright
Alright all night alright alright alright

Say sweet dreams, etc. & forever
I hope, said no one

She's a plastic Cleopatra on a throne of ice
She's a haemophiliac
With a dying battery life
Candy-colored fingers and schadenfreude eyes
Thinkin' airbrushed thoughts with a logo on her mind
It's so delightful, it's so insightful
It's so frightful, and I'm feeling it
Every single fucking day (yay yay yay yay yay)
It's time to party
It's time to party (whoo!)

In the valley where you wake up every beautiful day
And the world you created in your image is golden
Valley made of mirrors
Oh the night is so bright
You can feel like a pagan
You can feel like a pagan
In the valley (valley)
In the valley (valley)
In the valley (valley)
In the valley (valley)

Feel like a pagan now
Feel like a pagan

In the valley (valley)
In the valley (valley)

Feel like a pagan
