Lyrics

Down in vineland there's a clubhouse
Girl in white dress, boy shoot white stuff
Oh, don't you know that anyone can join
And they come and they call and they fall on the floor
Don't you see when you're looking at me
That I'll never end transcend transcend
Ain't it strange oh oh oh
Ain't it strange oh oh oh

Come and join me, I implore thee
I impure thee, come explore me
Oh, don't you know that anyone can come
And they come and they call and they crawl on the floor
Don't you see when you're looking at me
That I'll never end transcend transcend
Ain't it strange oh oh oh
Ain't it strange oh oh oh

True, true, who are you ?
Who, who am I ?
Oh da oh da oh da oh da oh da oh da

Down in vineland there's a clubhouse
Girl in white dress, boy shoot white stuff
Oh, don't you know that anyone can come
And they come and they call and they fall on the floor
Don't you see when you're looking at me
That I'll never end transcend transcend
Ain't it strange oh oh oh
Ain't it strange oh oh oh

Do you go to the temple tonight ?
Oh no, I don't think so
Do you not go to the palace of answers with me marie?
Oh no, I don't think so, no
See when they offer me book of gold
I know soon still that platinum is coming
And when I look inside of your temple
It looks just like the inside of anyone one man
And when he beckons his finger to me
Well, I move in another direction
I move in another dimension
I move in another dimension oh oh oh

I spin, I spiral, and I splatter
Hand of god, I feel the finger
Hand of god, and I start to whirl
And I whirl, and I whirl
Don't get dizzy, do not fall now
Turn, god, god (strange)
Go, go on, go like a dervish
Turn, god, (strange) make a move
Turn, lord, (strange)
I don't get nervous
Oh I just move in another dimension
Come move in another dimension
Come move in another dimension
Come move in another dimension oh oh oh
Strange strange

Do you go to the temple tonight ?
Oh no, I don't think so, no
We'll go to the pagoda
The palace of answers with me, marie
Oh no, I don't believe so, no
See when they offer me book of gold
I know soon still that platinum is coming
And when I look inside of your temple
It looks just like the inside of anyone one man
And when he beckons his finger to me
Well, I move in another dimension
I move in another dimension
I move in another dimension oh oh oh
