And when she blows the candle flame to smoke
  She says a prayer for all of those who live in houses and in homes
  And Monday she'll go down town standing naked in the road
  You may know what I am
  But who I am you don't know
  
  She'll run across the mustard dust sand
  Scream down the wind
  And the sea is in a cold
  Like when in holiday homes
  And houses like sweet confectionary
  And sandcastles and drinking wine
  Hungry dinners perfectly timed
  
  And mother and father glowing young
  Happy to be each other together
  When she blows the candle out
  She goes to bed and lies and drags through her head
  The day that went way of every day
  But tomorrow she'll fly a plane
  Over the fields where the houses aren't built yet
  
  She smiled sweetly across the room
  Through the lunch time smoke
  And I loved her for a second
  And discarded the queen and I know
  How sweetness turns sour
  And leaves they turn to brown
  And then to earth and dust
  And settle in this town
  You get blown away...
  
  (Repeat 1st Half)
  
  She smiled sweetly across the lunch time smoke
  And I loved her for a second and discarded the queen and I know
  When men are being little boys again
  And women cruel step mothers of old
  And this is the invention
  The adventure of my own
  I get blown away...
