Lyrics:

My mind is connected to your dreams
Bzzup uhzzup uzzup uzzuh bzzup uh-huh
Your dreams are connected to the underside
Where the skull of Africa
Meets the horn of Florida
And petals ring in orbit, merry day
- give me a pod of rock'n'roll

The butler emerges from the hole,
Bzzup uhzzup uzzup uzzup bzzup uh-huh
With a tray of diamonds
From the horn of Florida
And I loved your tennis court
And the hair that fell on it
Was yours
- give me a pod of rock'n'roll 

And I want you to remember
Everything
Everything
Everything

My mind is connected to your dreams
Bzzup uhzzup uhzzup uzzup bzzup uh-huh
Your dreams are connected to the underside
In your skull is memory
It's eleven carriages
And your skin was beautiful
And the face that formed on it
Was yours
- give me a pod of rock'n'roll

And it's only a poisonous plant and it's calling your name
