Lyrics

The summer sun set a vicious circus
When shadows held the world in place
But today I felt a chill
In my apartment's coolest place
Fuggi regal fantasima

The village larks cannot be heard
'Cause all the crows got panderers
I can't escape these velvet drapes
Don't want my rings to fall off my fingers
Fuggi regal fantasima

The mirror I find hard to face
'Cause I fear its a long way down

Got to get away from here
Think I know which hemisphere
Crazy me don't think there's pain
In barcelona

They dance you 'round a waltz confound
But I fear it's a long way down
Yes I fear it's a long way down

Even if that straw I pull
And I got to fight that bull
Nothing really does compare
To barcelona

Besides in spain
Don juan's to blame

But I fear it's a long way down
Yes I fear it's a long way down

'Cause I fear it's a long way down
And I fear I won't be around

Got to get away from here
Think I know which hemisphere

Make sure I have all my papers
Laying out my summer clothes
Search for traps in vain like scratching
So my suitcase I can close
Fuggi regal fantasima
