Ballerina Valerie
Down in the garden
Under a leaf, she was smoking her keef
And she was looking at stardom
Everything’s bright as she draws on the pipe
And the bowl glows redder
And things look better

Mars is a ruby
Saturn is sapphire, it burns with a blue fire
Colors run through me
Loosen my thinking, they’re flashing and blinking
And always changing, rearranging

Ballerina, valerie now
Move me through your crimson dances
Terragan, a red bandana
Bring me down your silver trances

Down in the garden
Under an oak, he was drinking his coke
And he was looking at stardom
Everything’s bright as he draws on the pipe
And the bowl glows redder
And things go better with coca-cola
