Sensation, sensation,
A new condition
Sensation, sensation,
A lovely addiction

Have you seen the soaring greens twitching upon the air,
Have you seen the way the light plays off a descending stair,

Have you seen the angular portals of light,
Where the birds go to and fro,
Where the ones I know come and go,
Where a shade is brought up and low,
To alter the intensity of the shining,
To refract a golden lining,
To warm my soft repining,
To leave me faintly smiling.

Sensation, sensation
It's appreciation
For what we feel
The taste
In our meals
The vision
In our eyes
Of intermittent
Missouri skies
