Lyrics
On the Ferris wheel
Looking out on Coney Island
Under more stars than
There are prostitutes in Thailand
Our hair in the air
Our lips blue from cotton candy
When we kiss, it feels
Like a flying saucer landing

And I can't sleep
'Cause you got strange powers
You're in my dreams
Strange powers

In Las Vegas where
The electric bills are staggering
The decor hog wild
And the entertainment saccharin
What a golden age
What a time of right and reason
The consumer's king
And unhappiness is treason

And I can't sleep
'Cause you got strange powers
You're in my dreams
Strange powers

The Sun falls down like honey
The Moon pours down like mercury
The stars fall down like money
And you come back to me
And I can't sleep
'Cause you got strange powers
You're in my dreams
Strange powers
And I can't sleep
'Cause you got strange powers
You're in my dreams
Strange powers

The Magnetic Fields – Strange Powers
[Verse 1] / On the Ferris wheel / Looking out on Coney Island / Under more stars than / There are prostitutes in Thailand / Our hair in the air / Our lips blue from cotton candy
The Magnetic Fields – Swinging London
[Verse 1] / I read your manifestoes and your strange religious tracts / You took me to your library and kissed me in the stacks / [Chorus] / Planets crash, the world goes nova
The Magnetic Fields – In My Car
[Verse 1] / You were mean to me / And broke my heart / Now you've gone away / And we're apart / But I've got a special machine / To take me where / Things turned out differently
The Magnetic Fields – All You Ever Do Is Walk Away
[Verse 1] / Sad as a painted clown / A beautiful boy in an ugly town / But when your circus closes down / Don't walk away from me / You've been asleep too long / The birds are
The Magnetic Fields – The Trouble I've Been Looking For
Track # 10 from the Magnetic Fields' 4th album, ‘Holiday’, from 1994.
The Magnetic Fields – Torn Green Velvet Eyes
[Verse 1] / You know the rain is gone / When the sky is full of dust / And the tears are gone / When your eyes are red as rust / And it just rains because it can / And you just cry

The final track of the Magnetic Fields' fourth album, Holiday, “Take Ecstasy with Me” is a bittersweet song about a homosexual relationship whose problems are temporarily solved by
The Magnetic Fields – Desert Island
[Verse 1] / I'll be the madness / That carries you away / I'll be the sadness / To light your darkest day / I'll be the desert island / Where you can be free / I'll be the vulture
The Magnetic Fields – Deep Sea Diving Suit
You didn't have to say that I'm no good / Cause I know / There's no point pointing pistols at me now / I'll just go / I never should have asked you to be kind / But I'm slow / And
The Magnetic Fields – The Cactus Where Your Heart Should Be
Many of the songs on 69 Love Songs feature very sparse or limited instrumentation. Track 10 of volume one is such an example. Songwriter Stephin Merritt sings a somber poem over
The Magnetic Fields – The Flowers She Sent and the Flowers She Said She Sent
[Verse 1] / I saw you standing at the airport / With your chihuahua in your hand / Crying on the moving sidewalk / On your way to Disneyland / [Chorus] / And the flowers she sent
The Magnetic Fields – I Don't Want to Get Over You
“I Don’t Want to Get Over You” is the much-beloved track 6 from Vol. 1 of The Magnetic Fields’s 69 Love Songs. Featuring a full band, Merritt sings lyrics that nail the sensation
The Magnetic Fields – Let's Pretend We're Bunny Rabbits
