It was a curious sight to me   A castle older than a redwood tree   Once lived in by royalty   Who taxed and raped the land      Mostly now it was stone and dust   Long damp halls and smells of must   Faded walls and ancient rust   Built on shifting sand   And I wanted I wanted I wanted   To smash that sucker down      It was a marvelous sight to see   A redhead workin' in a brasserie   Five foot nine built to a tee   Eyes so blue and bright   All the drunks were just circling round   I drank water and held my ground   Later on we did the town   And we caught every sight      Cause I wanted I wanted I wanted   To follow her down   Sightseein' freein' my soul   Sightseein' leavin' my soul      It was a magical sight to me   And Yves Tanguy in a gallery   The 30's looking back at me   As if he really knew   I marveled at the artistry   Predating or technology   The vision there for all to see   Bold and strong and true      And I wanted I wanted I wanted   To take that painting home   I wanted I wanted   I wanted to take that vision home
