Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Child of limousines, what's the best place
That you have seen, all the hands that you have shook
Home of the queen of everything fancy
Is there a smell that you can tell
Gives you some peace, sends you to hell?
All of the beds that you have yearned
Is there a dream to where you'd return
[Verse 2]
Where is the plight with the most stars?
Where do you drink by Echo guitars
What's the best shore seen from a boat?
Miniature hands that color the shore line
If you could rest, a minute to tell
Give me some grass, iridescent shells
I know there's a nest fit with a hatch
Sunset a-glowin' make us all sweaty
[Verse 3]
Well, I don't even know where to begin
Or how I should start these days
The green mountain south, or
The clay of the westerns
The Maryland meadows at midnight, they
Do haveĀ a misty grace
Take a trip to the Bayou
Find Roy Orbison cryin'
[Verse 4]
A continent molded from glass
Or maybe a town I can taste
Dresses that glow on girls from Barcelona
I wanna discover the key
And open the everywhere place
A mix of sky from Montana
Dipped in FloriDada
[Verse 5]
Flori-flori-flori-flori-Florida
FloriDada, FloriDada
Flori-flori-flori-flori-Florida
FloriDada, FloriDada
Flori-flori-flori-flori-Florida
FloriDada, FloriDada
Flori-flori-flori-flori-Florida
FloriDada, FloriDada
[Verse 6]
Old demented man, where is the place
We can extend crooked state lines
Polka dot signs say that this place is
A state of mind, pretty lip girls
Paint me the halls, not on a street
Not near a mall
Raise me a thumb from human skin
That isn't judged by where it begins
[Verse 7]
Show me the clams, show me the pearls
Mail me a note sent from the world
That isn't so far, and always right here
Where all of the boundaries have disappeared
And all of the nights stitched with the blue
That's sticking to me, and I'll stick to you
And I'll take your hands, and you'll take my face
And everywhere home will be a good place
[Verse 8]
I found myself there a collagin' with all of the human race
A dancer from Ghana smilin' in Tijuana
A Frankenstein java with touches of Prada
And corn on their plates
A smear of Gardenia in the fair hair of Sweden
[Verse 9]
But maybe, I actually visited some sort of mythical place
Or was it a future connected by sutures
Oh, let's get lost in the image
I made of the everywhere place
I see the lads from Osaka died in FloriDada
[Verse 10]
Flori-flori-flori-flori-Florida
FloriDada, FloriDada
Flori-flori-flori-flori-Florida
FloriDada, FloriDada
[Verse 11]
Where's the bridge that's gonna take me home?
A bridge that someone's fighting over
A bridge that someone's paying for
A bridge so old, so let it go
Where's the bridge that's gonna take me home?
A bridge that someone's fighting over
A bridge that someone's paying for
A bridge so old, so let it go
[Verse 12]
Where's the bridge that's gonna take me home?
A bridge that someone's fighting over
A bridge that someone's paying for
A bridge so old, so let it go
Where's the bridge that's gonna take me home?
A bridge that someone's fighting over
A bridge that someone's paying for
A bridge so old, so let it go
[Verse 13]
Flori-flori-flori-flori-Florida
FloriDada, FloriDada
Flori-flori-flori-flori-Florida
FloriDada, FloriDada
Flori-flori-flori-flori-Florida
FloriDada, FloriDada
Flori-flori-flori-flori-Florida
FloriDada, FloriDada
[Verse 14]
Flori-flori-flori-flori-Florida
FloriDada, FloriDada
Flori-flori-flori-flori-Florida
FloriDada, FloriDada
