野人花园 Savage garden sanea monica

in santa monica in the winter time
the lazy streets so undemanding
i walk into the crowd
in santa monica you get your coffee from
the coolest places on the promenade¹
where people dress just so
beauty so unavoidable
everywhere you turn
it's there
i sit and wonder what am i doing here?

but on the telephone line i am anyone
i am anything i want to be
i could be a supermodel or norman mailer
and you wouldn't know the difference
or would you?

in santa monica, all the people got
modern names
like jake or mandy
and modern bodies too
in santa monica, on the boulevard,
you'll have to dodge² those in-line skaters
or they'll knock you down
i never felt so lonely,
never felt so out of place
i never wanted something more than this

but on the telephone line i am anyone
i am anything i want to be
i could be a supermodel or norman mailer
and you wouldn't know the difference

on the telephone line, i am any height
i am any age i want to be
i could be a caped³ crusader, or
space invader⁴
and you would know the difference
or would you?
or would you?

on the telephone line i am anyone
i am anything i want to be
i could be a supermodel or norman mailer
and you wouldn't know the difference
