Imagine, the girls around town assemble The travelerâs son they come askinâ Where he came from âCause theyâve watched him Washing his face near the pond
A curious boy and they wonder Where he came from
He says: âI, I have seen the worldâs most beautiful places, Still I feel, as If Iâm a walking machine, Watching it all through a screen There is nothing in between to me This might as well not be realâ
Imagine, the girls take him up on a hill Itâs an Indigo night, thereâs a chill The boy is confused but heâs still As they gather around him So many of them, they all sing About the pleasures of life
And he cries: "Why canât I sing along with some feeling, or some meaning?
It feels like Iâve always been blind. I donât know why you girls are so kind, For there are so many in line Whose lives arenât as lost as mineâ
Now something happened there, The smell of the grass, or maybe the air There was no more despair Just something about that night Maybe the girls, they lit some light, And made everything right âCause heâs never been More alive
