Again, a "poem" I wish I had written ....... Thanks Talking Heads ......

Hey!And she was lying in the grassAnd she could hear the highway breathingAnd she could see a nearby factoryShe's making sure she is not dreamingSee the lights of a neighbor's houseNow she's starting to riseTake a minute to concentrateAnd she opens up her eyesThe world was moving she was right there with it and she wasThe world was moving she was floating above it and she wasand she wasAnd she was drifting through the backyardAnd she was taking off her dressAnd she was moving very slowlyRising up above the earthMoving into the universeAnd she's drifting this way and thatNot touching the ground at allAnd she's up above the yardThe world was moving she was right there with it and she was(Hey, hey)The world was moving she was floating above it and she wasHey, hey, heyAnd she was proud about it... no doubt about itShe isn't sure about what she's doneNo time to think about what to tell himNo time to think about what she's doneAnd she wasHey hey, hey hey, hey!And she was looking at herselfAnd things were looking like a movieShe had a pleasant elevationShe's moving out in all directionsOh, oh ohHey hey hey (repeated..)The world was moving she was right there with it and she wasHey, woo hooThe world was moving she was floating above it and she wasHey, heyJoining the world of missing persons and she wasMissing enough but feeling all right and she wasHa haAnd she was(repeated..)
