Yet another weird, nearly undeciphrable set of lyrics by. Frank Black told Melody Maker in April 1991 about his writing:
I read how some artist – Man Ray, I think – did a photographic portrait of a famous actress. They went out to the countryside, but he forgot to bring his lenses. He took the lens...
[Intro]
Hey babe
How ya doin'?
Can I be your boy?
[Verse 1]
A pet at my side, God in the sky
Snow fallin' down, freeze my body to the ground
I can't ride
But one more time, I will ride
All over the world
(Everybody rock out!)
[Verse 2]
Washed over the side, top of the sky
Slow diver down, two feet land on a different ground
You can't live easily
You can't even speak, but all of them speak
[Refrain]
All over the world, all over the world
All over the world, all over the world
All over the world, all over the world
All over the world
[Chorus 1]
I will meet you over there
I am
Going to meet you over there
[Verse 2]
Washed over the side, top of the sky
Slow diver down, two feet land on a different ground
You can't live easily
You can't even speak, fish, all of them speak
All over the world
[Verse 3]
A plain with no herd, not even a bird
When one side is hot, the other side of the moon is not
It's just like a ride
Maybe sometime, they'll make it a ride
[Refrain]
All over the world, all over the world
All over the world, all over the world
All over the world, all over the world
All over the world
[Chorus 1]
I will meet you over there
I am, I am
Going to meet you over there
[Interlude]
([?])
[Bridge]
(Time is an arrangement
Time is an arranger
I am a derangement)
[Chorus 2]
All my thoughts
All I am are my thoughts
All my thoughts
I am all what I'm taught
[Bridge]
(Better call the ranger
Got a train derailment
Better call the ranger)
[Chorus 2]
All I'm taught
All I am are my thoughts
All my thoughts
All I am are my thoughts
[Outro]
What I'm not
