Our eyes capered on the skyline
Stretched arms out of the car
It was supernatural to us
with its circle of magic
Is that what it was like to fly?

I stood in a snow globe
of winter wonderland stars
It hugged the happy in me
like it was protecting a baby - then avalanche - goodbye

Labyrinth of shallies
all tangerine and peach
etched a path of crystal stones
gold if you were lucky
This was home of the fireflies

They led me to the beach cafe
And the club of cabaret
Where indigo lights taught me to really dance, a coryphee
The steps I still have memorised

Then I saw the sea's sage, regurgitation
Animals couldn't be collected in buckets like shells
And although childhood dreams stay with me

The kid in me has died.
