Amelia with electric eyes
a pot of gold between her thighs
a life of all alone
she forgot to go home
he’s a teacher of Shakespeare
a pot of gold inside his beer
a poet of loneliness
unless Amelia’s near

did you know Professor Sunshine
he drank her in like fine wine
Amelia with the long legs spread out like daisies

she pulled him in like a drug
pulling love from his eyes
and lies would lift out over their lives
in the warm and smoky air
he lived inside the moment of Amelia called him sunshine love
Amelia with the long legs to match the long hair

did you know Professor Sunshine
he drank her in like fine wine
Amelia with the long legs spread out like daisies in her hair
did you see Professor Sunshine
he’s empty as his glass of wine
he can feel her linger on in the air

he could see it in her eyes (wasn’t a usual goodbye)
wasn’t a usual goodbye (saw her walking out the door)
saw her walking out the door
never saw Amelia no more

they found the car beside the tracks Amelia wasn’t coming back
the blood ran down the telephone she forgot to go home
electric eyes have disappeared Amelia’s flying high from here
lingers on in the air with Sunshine
