lyrics

The strangest things start happening when you get to following the rabbit
That fleeting beast could lead you anywhere, she’s not a creature of habit
And when she’s caught a scent you can see it by the twitching of her nose
A mellow fellow but she often gets a twinkle in her toes

Now she’s a thousand miles away
Misplacing tricks in the sorcerer’s hat
Keeping the beat with the tail of a cat
Channeling the spirit of her grandma
Rubbing shoulders with the Dalai Lama
I think he could learn a thing or two

Her name is Tina and she doesn’t know if she believes in choice
I saw her up before the sunrise painting pictures of the envoys
Afternoon she’s by the river sifting through the mud for shells
I trust her easily cause she has some secrets she will never tell

Now she’s a thousand miles away
On the steps to the Buddha after dark
Speaking the words straight from her heart
Whenever she can she’s taking off her shoes
Never bothered by the newsman’s
Depressing attitude

She feels vibrations
She knows not where they’re from
Universal love
Said the Cactus man

Now she’s thousand miles away
Got me feeling like E.T., I wanna go home
I wanna give away everything I own
Now she's a thousand miles away
Receiving the signal through the static
She said that she comes from another planet
I do believe it’s true
