Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
Mostly now it was stone and dust
Long damn halls and smells of must
Faded walls and ancient rust
Built on shifting sand
[Verse 3]
And I wanted
I wanted
I wanted
To smash that sucker down
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
Cause I wanted
I wanted
I wanted
To follow her on down
[Verse 7]
(Sight) Seein'
Freein' my soul
(Sight) Seein'
Leavin' me on the road
[Verse 8]
It was a magical sight to me
And Yves Tanguy in a gallery
The thirties lookin' back at me
As if he really knew
[Verse 9]
I marveled at the artistry
Predating our technology
The vision there for all to see
Bold and strong and true
[Verse 10]
And I wanted
I wanted
I wanted
To take that painting home
[Verse 11]
I wanted
I wanted
I wanted
To take that vision home
