lyrics

green fairy, throw the world aside
bring us into a place where dreams collide
from the dusty streets of Paris
the memories entrance, ensnare us
with the voices of poets who've long since died

and into this world we'll take our flight
green fairy, in your everlasting light
scattered clouds and autumn moon
sugarcube and slotted spoon
you can make a daydream of the night

oh, hear the rushing sound
the waters trickling down
paradise lost and found
swirl misery around in the louche

come into this dream with arms thrown wide
unleash the vision that's held inside
eternal and divine
imagined realm of your design
over elysian fields preside

and in the haze of smoke and noise
we've touched the surface of human joys
her intoxicating perfume
white flowers burst into bloom
green fairy creates and destroys

oh, hear the rushing sound
the waters trickling down
paradise lost and found
swirl misery around in the louche
