It was a curious sight to meA castle older than a redwood treeOnce lived in by royaltyWho taxed and raped the landMostly now it was stone and dustLong damp halls and smells of mustFaded walls and ancient rustBuilt on shifting sandAnd I wanted I wanted I wantedTo smash that sucker downIt was a marvelous sight to seeA redhead workin' in a brasserieFive foot nine built to a teeEyes so blue and brightAll the drunks were just circling roundI drank water and held my groundLater on we did the townAnd we caught every sightCause I wanted I wanted I wantedTo follow her downSightseein' freein' my soulSightseein' leavin' my soulIt was a magical sight to meAnd Yves Tanguy in a galleryThe 30's looking back at meAs if he really knewI marveled at the artistryPredating or technologyThe vision there for all to seeBold and strong and trueAnd I wanted I wanted I wantedTo take that painting homeI wanted I wantedI wanted to take that vision home
