In some polynesian dive Downwind from the badlands bah bah bah bah The palace at 4 am We kick through the diamond dust Halfway between vancouver and The bingo game that made the man Kicking around in promiseland Just one flick of the wrist One flick of the wrist and look look look (look) You're in the palace at 4 am When the daydreams threw the covers back back back back Back before you saw The ribbon tied around your bomb When you were kicking hearts around With a straight shot A straightshot But lady would you call it art A straight shot A straight shot But lady would you call it art Lady would you call it art Now no more pushing words around No more pushing words around bah bah bah The palace at 4 am You're asking for the book to be thrown down It opens with a thud With the dumb luck that was the plan Kicking around the promiseland With a straight shot A straight shot But lady would you call it art A straight shot A straight shot But lady would you call it art Lady would you call it art Now no more pushing words around No more pushing words around No more pushing words around No more pushing words around Straight shot In the palace at 4 am
