Surreal Estate

Surreal Estate -Be Bop Deluxe

Written by ：Bill Nelson

I bought you surreal estate

Hanging gardens for your gate

You said that I could stay

See you through to another day

That day became a year

Time flies in this atmosphere

Aeroplanes and crashing cars

Automatic in the head my dreams of you

Bring telescopes and read the stars

They say the future's ours to penetrate

Electric eye sees all within

A polaroid life you and I begin

The city dwellers drop like flies

Delirium and madness in their eyes

In bowls of blue and water glass

My angel fish and I we pass the time away

It's worth the wait surreal estate

Surreal estate no time no date

Accept no fake surreal estate

Design by fate surreal estate

I bought you surreal estate

Hanging gardens for your gate

Ancient orchards in the rain

Magnetic fields and railway trains

Here beneath our haunted moon

In a room of green we disappear

Invisible to all the world we practice sleeping

Keeping time by nothing clear

It's worth the wait surreal estate

Surreal estate no time no date

Accept no fake surreal estate

Design by fate surreal estate

No fake surreal
