She lit a cigarette 
Both hands behind her back 
Thought she was hungry 
Lack of choice saw to that 

Only you can try to see 
What I'm really like 
She said, only you can understand 
The way I feel tonight 

She blamed excesses 
On the American dream 
So seldom witnessed 
Never seen 

Imagination could make a man of you 
Imagination could make me love you too 
Imagination is all I want from you 

She lost her virtue 
Before she could write 
I lost mine too 
On my very first night with you 

You'll have to guide me 
These impossible schemes 
You make me steal 
Unstealable things 


She blamed excesses 
On the American dream 
So seldom witnessed 
Never seen 

Imagination could make a man of you 
Imagination could make me love you too 
Imagination is all I want from you 

And she blamed excesses 
On the American dream 
So seldom witnessed 
Never seen 

Imagination could make a man of you 
Imagination could make me love you too 
Imagination is all I want from you 

Imagination, imagination 
Imagination, imagination 

Imagination, imagination 
Imagination, imagination 
Imagination, imagination 
Imagination, imagination
