A classically sardonic Magnetic Fields song about the “strange power” of love, in this case, a woman’s obsessive hold on the mind of the singer.
[Verse 1]
On the Ferris wheel
Looking out on Coney Island
Under more stars than
There are prostitutes in Thailand
Our hair in the air
Our lips blue from cotton candy
When we kiss, it feels
Like a flying saucer landing
[Chorus]
And I can't sleep
Cause you got strange powers
You're in my dreams
Strange powers
[Verse 2]
In Las Vegas where
The electric bills are staggering
The decor hog wild
And the entertainment saccharine
What a golden age
What a time of right and reason
The consumer's king
And unhappiness is treason
[Chorus]
And I can't sleep
Cause you got strange powers
You're in my dreams
Strange powers
[Bridge]
The Sun pours down like honey
The Moon pours down like mercury
The stars fall down like money
And you come down to me
[Chorus]
And I can't sleep
Cause you got strange powers
You're in my dreams
Strange powers
And I can't sleep
Cause you got strange powers
You're in my dreams
Strange powers
