From the recording The Heavenly Zoo
Bright, brisk strumming on a 12 string and a colourful, psychedelic lyrical space is how I think of this song. But replace Lucy in the Sky’s marshmallow pies with that most Ontarian of treats, the butter tart.
Lyrics
butter tarts and jelly rolls and a slice of cherry pie
lemonade never made my lady want to lie
so still
still breathing
starry eyed
a periscope could never hope to see what I have seen
reclining in the universe as though she’s never been
so still
still breathing
starry eyed
oooh starry eyed
she had never seen the sky so wide
so wide
so wide
funny things are happening
steady don't you cry
living under fireworks that shimmer in the sky
so still
still breathing
starry eyed
it's around, all around
and crazy as it seems
even though we touch the ground
we're liquid in our dreams
so still
still breathing
starry eyed
