Patti Smith – Ain’t It Strange

Down in Vineland there’s a clubhouse,

Girl in white dress, boy shoot white stuff

Oh, don’t you know that anyone can join

And they come and they call and they fall on the floor

Don’t you see when you’re looking at me

That I’ll never end transcend transcend

Ain’t it strange oh oh oh

Ain’t it strange oh oh oh

Come and join me, I implore thee,

I impure thee, come explore me.

Oh, don’t you know that anyone can come

And they come and they call and they crawl on the floor.

Don’t you see when you’re looking at me

That I’ll never end transcend transcend

Ain’t it strange oh oh oh

Ain’t it strange oh oh oh

True, true, who are you ?

Who, who am I ?

Oh da oh da oh da oh da oh da oh da

Down in Vineland there’s a clubhouse,

Girl in white dress, boy shoot white stuff.

Oh, don’t you know that anyone can come

And they come and they call and they fall on the floor

Don’t you see when you’re looking at me

That I’ll never end transcend transcend.

Ain’t it strange oh oh oh

Ain’t it strange oh oh oh

Do you go to the temple tonight ?

Oh no, I don’t think so

Do you not go to the palace of answers with me Marie?

Oh no, I don’t think so, no

See when they offer me book of gold,

I know soon still that platinum is coming

And when I look inside of your temple

It looks just like the inside of anyone one man,

And when he beckons his finger to me,

Well, I move in another direction,

I move in another dimension

I move in another dimension oh oh oh

I spin, I spiral, and I splatter

Hand of God, I feel the finger,

Hand of God, and I start to whirl

And I whirl, and I whirl,

Don’t get dizzy, do not fall now,

Turn, God, God (strange)

Go, go on, go like a dervish,

Turn, God, (strange) make a move

Turn, Lord, (strange)

I don’t get nervous

Oh I just move in another dimension

Come move in another dimension

Come move in another dimension

Come move in another dimension oh oh oh

Strange strange

Do you go to the temple tonight ?

Oh no, I don’t think so, no

We’ll go to the pagoda

The palace of answers with me, Marie

Oh no, I don’t believe so, no

See when they offer me book of gold,

I know soon still that platinum is coming

And when I look inside of your temple

It looks just like the inside of anyone one man

And when he beckons his finger to me,

Well, I move in another dimension

I move in another dimension

I move in another dimension oh oh oh
