lyrics

She's a silky smooth beauty
She's a lonely man's darling
She's a concrete king's dream
Of what he thinks must be starlight

She's the full moon at midnight
She's why the watchmen keep waiting
She's the flash of inspiration
In the great masters' paintings

She's the nails in the door frame
She's that urge to applaud
She makes the madmen climb mountains
To get closer to God

She's the tide on the rocks
She's why the Queen wears pearls
She's the ambition in men
To take over the world.

She's your grandma's Victrola
She made Pheidippides run
She's the power of an idea
Whose time has finally come

And with all of these empires
Gettin brought to their knees
Oh what luck could have struck
That she'd be standin with me?
