Lyrics ~ Music Television
She lit a cigarette, both hands behind her back
Thought she was hungry, lack of choice saw to that
Only you can try to see what I’m really like
She said, only you can understand the way I feel tonight
She blamed excesses on the American dream
So seldom witnessed, never seen
Hah – hah – hah – hah – hah
Imagination – could make a man of you
Imagination – could make me love you too
Imagination – is all I want from you
She lost her virtue before she could write
I lost mine too, on my very first night with you
You’ll have to guide me, these impossible schemes
You make me steal unstealable things
She blamed excesses on the American dream
So seldom witnessed, neverseen
Hah – hah – hah – hah – hah
Imagination – could make a man of you
Imagination – could make me love you too
Imagination – is all I want from you
And – she blamed excesses on the American dream
So seldom witnessed, never seen
Hah – hah – hah – hah – hah
Imagination – could make a man of you
Imagination – could make me love you too
Imagination – is all I want from you
Is all I want from you
I I I I I I I
Imagination
Imagination
Twisting my melon man
Talking so hip
Twisting my melon man
Talking so hip
