Lyrics
As far as you take me
That's where I believe
The realm of soft delusions
Floating on the leaves
On a distant shoreline
She waves her arms to me
As all the thought police
And closing in for sleep

The dilly dally
Of my bright lit stay
The steam of my misfortunes
Has given me the power to be afraid
And in my mind I'm everyone
And in my mind

Without a care in this whole world
Without a care in this whole world
Without a care in this life
It's what you take that makes it right

Porcelina of the oceans blue
Porcelina, porcelina

In the slipstream, of thoughtless thoughts
The light of all that's good
The light of all that's true
To the fringes gladly
I walk unadorned
With gods and their creations
With filth and disease

Porcelina, she waits for me there
With seashell hissing lullabies
And whispers fathomed deep inside my own
Hidden thoughts and alibis
My secret thoughts come alive

Without a care in this whole world
Without a care in this whole world
Without a care in this life
It's what you take that makes it right
And in my mind I'm everyone
And in my mind I'm everyone
In my mind I'm everyone of you
You make it right
It's all all right
You make it right

Porcelina of the oceans blue
Porcelina of the oceans blue
