Elle me file la pêche, cette chanson, j'adore !

Big Brian Wilson fan here and I'm def getting a touch of the 'SMILE' album vibe. Really nice arrangements etc!

Bumming ‘round the summer everybody’s growing dumber so be careful not to slip on the drool
Says the fighter to the writer as his fist is closing tighter on the neck of what is left of the fool 
But what no one wants to mention is the alternate dimension, which opened up outside of school
Where the crazy folks fall out and shake about but none of them quite like you

Visionary mama shouting beach balls and Obama while the kid plays the sad violin
Corner store conductor needs a number to instruct her that she’ll never ever add up again
Well everybody is a circus but it’s only on the surface when the ringmaster is buried too deep
What’s this world coming to?  I don’t know do you? Want to make it up? Like all this other stuff? Yeah

Mariella, Mariella I’m your fella on this mystic and emotional ride
Mariella, I will tell ya Cinderella was your equal when you open your eyes
Let’s plan on looking back, learning all the facts, forgetting them after a while

Hear the storm a’coming and see everyone a’running but the dancing man’s the one they arrest
Says the carrot to the snowman I don’t want to be your nose man, so bite me off or put me in your vest
It’s an old tradition to go seeking recognition says the Invisible Man with a grin
And though he don’t appear, at least he’s clear, it don’t take much to look like him

Little orphan Annie she’s a holding hands with Danny and they whisper by the liquor store light
Everybody’s talking and they’re walking while they’re talking and they’re talking ‘bout how nothing’s ever right
But I say this world ain’t over when you look over your shoulder and you call me out into the night
And I want to let you know, I don’t know where to go, you want to take the wheel? Just turn to how you feel yeah

Mariella, Mariella I’m your fella on this mystic and emotional ride
Mariella, I will tell ya Cinderella was your equal when you open your eyes
Let’s plan on looking back, learning all the facts, forgetting them after a while

Let’s face it, we won’t make it if the chaos leaves us blind
These are dull times full of punch lines but the joke is on our lives
I will drive to your place in the morning and we’ll leave this world without warning 
We can live free of all the irony yes someday when we find the new land again yeah

Mariella won't you step right up and tell me are we the next contestants who haven't learned their lessons
I'm afraid of heights, I'm afraid of overbites but I ain't afraid tonight so let's walk this world that don't spin right
