The song is inspired by J. G. Ballard’s short story “The Thousand Dreams of Stellavista” set in the futuristic resort of Vermilion Sands. The story is about psychotropic houses that remember inhabitants' emotions and take form according to the moods of people living in them.
[Intro]
So, what do I know of ya?
Is that you're based in England?
Yes
And you're a...
A woman
Fuck's sake
[Verse 1]
So I'm gonna go over it
Over it and over again
All over again
In a heart-shaped swimming pool
It's like a honeymoon debut
All over again
And in every senso-cell, ah-ah-ah
I've got a piece of heaven, baby
[Pre-Chorus]
All I need is you
Ten thousand dreams in Stella Vista
Ooh! ah-ah
It's psychotropic
You need to hear my system, baby
Where The Horny Horns gonna play forever
Ooh! Hm-hm
Toto, I don't want to be alone
In a psychotropic environ
[Chorus]
'Cause this house is holding it
All that loneliness
This place is going insanе
It's insane
And I can't explain it
Therе's been—
Ten thousand dreams in Stella Vista
Ooh!
Hm-hm
It's pyscho-reactive
[Interlude]
Darling, did you switch that...
That radio on?
Fuck's sake
[Verse 2]
I don't wanna be alone here
This house is our swan song
Toto, alone we stand on Vermilion Sands
With a heart-shaped swimming pool
Toto, alone we stand on Vermilion Sands
And see the darkness under the blues
We too stuck in honeymoon debut
[Refrain]
No, I won't go over it
Over it and over again
And again
All over again
[Chorus]
'Cause this place is holding it
All that loneliness
This house is going insane (In a heart-shaped)
(All over again) 'Cause this place is holding it
All that loneliness
This house is going insane (In a heart-shaped)
(All over again) It's insane, it's insane
[Post-Chorus]
(In a heart-shaped swimming pool)
[Outro]
It's locked me in
Darling?! It's locked up
I can't...
I can't get out, I can't get out, I can't get out of the house
Where have you gone?
