Ain't It Strange
Ah, love so sweet, love so pure
Love is something that you must endure
Oh, mighty is the Kingdom of Zion
Hail, hail
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 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-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 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? (Strange?) Oh-oh-oh
Ain't it strange? (Strange?) Oh-oh-oh (hey, hey)
True, true, who are you?
Who, who am I?
Ooh, da-oh-da-oh-da-oh-da-oh-da-oh-da
Down in Vineland, there's a clubhouse
Girl in white dress, boys shoot white stuff
Oh, don't you know that anyone can come?
And they come and 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? (Strange?) Oh, oh-oh
Ain't it strange? (Strange?) Oh, oh-oh
Will you go to the temple tonight?
Oh no, I don't think so, not
You're not going 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's coming
And when I look inside of your temple
Looks just like the inside of being anyone 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
Oh, but I
I spin, I spiral, and I splatter
I feel the fever
Hand of God, and I start to whirl
And I whirl, and I whirl
And I'm dizzy, and I'm foggy
Go on, go on, like a dervish (strange)
Go on, go on, make a move
Go on, move (strange), I'm out of here
Oh, where I'm goin' is a new dimension
(I move in another dimension) I move
(I move in another dimension) I move
(I move in another dimension) I move
Oh-oh-oh (one, two, three, four)
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's coming
And when I look inside of your temple
It looks just like the inside of being anyone 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
Love is something that you must endure
