Love Is Lighter Than Air

The Magnetic Fields · Get Lost [1995]

Summer, summer, summer

Slowly turned into fall

Me and my baby doll

Never went to the beach



Somewhere, somewhere, somewhere

Was a place we could run

On the sand with the sun

Always just out of reach



Somewhere sunny summer's

Marching to a different drummer, singing

Summer, summer, summer's

Gonna turn into fall



You and your baby doll

Better go to the beach 'cause



Love is lighter than air

It floats away if you let go

Love is lighter than air

It rises through the falling snow



A crime, crime, crime

Sin and illness is time

Neither reason nor rhyme

Can obstruct his bad dance



The nasty little swine

Slipped us mickeys in wine

Wove his hair into twine

And then tied our hands



We're forced to watch him wriggle

And endure his fulsome giggle

And his mime, mime, mime

Unforgivable mime



Our one chance is to climb

Into blimps of romance 'cause



Love is lighter than air

It floats away if you let go

Love is lighter than air

It rises through the falling snow



Love is lighter than air

It floats away if you let go

Love is lighter than air

It rises through the falling snow
