Lyrics (unofficial)

[rev. Nov. 26, 2018]

I once had this woman, a surrealist woman
She changed before my very eyes
One minute revolving, next minute dissolving
I wish that it had been otherwise

I followed her home, I followed her back
Followed her where I did not choose
She swallowed me up, she swallowed me whole
I got the surrealist woman blues

I went to the seaside, surrealist seaside
It was hot, lord it was so cold
One minute of laughter, then tears ever after
Ocean in motion and uncontrolled

I followed her home, I followed her back
Followed her where I did not choose
She swallowed me up, she swallowed me whole
I got the surrealist woman blues

I followed her home, I followed her back
I followed her where I did not choose
She swallowed me up, she swallowed me whole
I got surrealist woman blues

I once had this woman, a surrealist woman
She changed before my very eyes
