Song Lyrics

When I went to a palm reader she told me that your picture would come alive
Now I'm staring at the frame and I see a frown turning into a smile

Don't wink at me, you know you're gonna make me start blusing
Your love hit me over the head and I
Dare to say that I may have a concussion

We've got a house of gingerbread, someday we're gonna turn it into a castle
Of every crystal, rubies, emeralds, and everything we desire
And we shall sleep together through a time of silk and platinum
And we'll know every one of our memories was just a souvenir

When I went to a fortune teller, he beckoned me to look in his crystal ball
And in there I saw five yellow sunrises, and the world was beginning to thaw

Don't wink at me, you know you're gonna make me start crying again
So much happiness is making me dizzy
Like I'm looking up and watching the seagulls flying

We've got a castle made of sand stretching on mile after mile
On the loneliest beaches in Shadonia, and in your eyes I see a lake of amber
And upon these shores we shall begin a mission
A quest of loyalty, and the strength of discipline

When I went to see the alchemist, he turned my heart into a feather
Now it's riding on the breeze that I made when I blew you that kiss

Don't fail to catch it, baby, I know you're never gonna let it fall to the ground
Though my heart's like a mirror
It could break without a sound

We've got a future to behold, 'cause you know we can walk on our hands to the clouds
Of Venus and Mercury, an atmosphere of sun and storms and stellar lightning
Igniting the flames of passion in between us
We're discovering comets and keeping them as souvenirs

In the year 2050 when we're not as beautiful anymore
I think I'll pack up a suitcase with our souvenirs, and we can begin again

We had a house of gingerbread, and you know we made it into a castle
Of every crystal, rubies, emeralds, and everything that we desire
And we stuck together through all time
Now we're going away, and we're keeping our souvenirs
