Lyrics for Winchester Mansion of Sound

I still think of you And your wild recurve guitar Only you can play so far out of tune And still kick me in the heart I only hear things second hand And consider you from far away, way-way-way You're like some silent movie star Swanning off to heaven or Arizona Or wherever they'd go And I know you fight to keep it all aligned You're too much life for just one body, body, body Your gravity un designs you all the time And I remember, I remember We walked under that railway bridge At the furious pace of the unhinged Unbound together, unbound together You said things too wild for just one night I'm yours forever, always was One foot follows another one by, one by, one by one Down in the sand forever only music is forever And you're a Winchester Mansion of sound If you think I'm talkin' bout romance You're not listening There's too much life For just one lifetime So you string a few together Just to bang them all around And build a tragedy's momentum You're a Winchester Mansion of sound Mad strides deliver A tender psychic river We slip out of tune together An emergency your eyes In the grip of recognition You echo back a wilderness A Winchester Mansion of sound I'm yours forever Down in the sand forever Only music is forever You're a Winchester Mansion of sound Down, down, baby down by the roller coaster Down, down, baby down by the roller coaster Down, down, baby down by the roller coaster Down, down, baby down by the roller coaster Down, down, baby down by the roller coaster Down, down, baby down by the roller coaster Down, down, baby down by the roller coaster Down, down, baby down by the roller coaster Down, down, baby down by the roller coaster Down, down, baby down by the roller coaster Down, down, baby down by the roller coaster Down, down, baby down by the roller coaster
