lyrics

i met a girl with dayglo hair
orange you glad that she was my fare
rods and cones, it hurts to stare
fluorescing in the neon glare

between the wind and the rain
between the earth and the flames
it will not be the same
i will not be the same

someday i'm going to make her mine
a paragon of paradigm
i've loved her since the time she toddled
only an hour self-unbottled

i met a girl with skin of blue
men don't cry but i was moved
before she died she told me what to do
but who will protect who?

someday i'm going to make her mine
a paragon of paradigm
i'll be the spleen, she'll be the spline
i'll get to say the final line

i'm not here to make your scene
(leeloo, leeloo, leeloo, leeloo)
yeah, it's green, man. super green.
(leeloo, leeloo, leeloo, leeloo)
what was it you said to me?
(yippie ki yay, Mr. Falcon)
now i have a machine gun
ho ho ho
