I was wandering through the streets of the city
|
Rambling through the the avenues of time
|
When from nowhere my eyes fell onto a girl
|
And by chance her eyes fell onto mine
|
Ah...
|
|
So I sat and I acted all nonchalant
|
She smoked her lavender cigarette
|
Reading the future that lay in my hands
|
My shadow played a bass clarinet
|
Where are you going with this, Bret?
|
|
We waltzed down a moonlit boulevard
|
Just two silhouettes in the mist
|
Ah. yes?
|
Days went by and years went by
|
Moments went by when we kissed
|
When was this?
|
|
She said, "Your beard is woven of heartache
|
And we'll drink for the lonely tonight."
|
And the moon is a horny old drunkard
|
Ah, Bret. Could you please move over to your right?
|
|
We drank dandelion wine and we reminisced
|
About the moment when we first met that day
|
I'm trying to watch TV
|
Then we reminisced about how we first reminisced
|
Ah yeah. Sounds a bit gay
|
|
She handed me a broken memory
|
A keepsake to forevermore say
|
That a brief taste of love is as sweet as any
|
And with that, she made her way
|
Oh yeah. What was her name?
|
|
She said her name was a secret
|
Then she said her name was Cherie
|
Is her middle name Cherie, so It's a Secret Cherie, maybe?
|
Mm .. Maybe What did she look like?
|
|
She looked like a Parisian river
|
What? dirty?
|
She looked like a chocolate eclair
|
That's rare
|
Her eyes were reflections of eyes
|
Oh, nice
|
And the rainbows danced in her hair
|
Oh yeah..
|
|
She reminded me of a winter's morning
|
What, frigid?
|
Her perfume was eau de toilette
|
What's that mean?
|
She was comparable to Cleopatra
|
Quite old?
|
She was like Shakespeare's Juliet
|
Thirteen?!
|
|
The bohemians of Soho did pirouettes
|
As we waltzed through the streets of Manhattan
|
On rivers of ribbon and sailboats of song
|
Bret, did any of this actually happen?
|
|
The girl I described, she's as real as the wind
|
It's true I saw her today
|
The other details are inventions
|
Because I prefer her that way
|
