Ariana Lyrics
what do i get: ariana
reading the papers and the news they scream
haven't you heard: ariana
she rules the business, she's sucha restless genuine juvenile
everyone knows, wherever she goes
she got chique, she got class, she got style
arianamania sets the scenes on fire
we're goin' carazzy forrr herrr
everything glows, wherever she goes
she got sex from her lips to her toes
all the casanovas, even zombies agree
with the hummingbirds and the beasts from the sea
ariana's a real sensation
when will she be on the screeeeeen...
Ariana is a crazy love goddess stuck with the peace duty and freaked out because she doesn’t know how to handle the war mongers who seem—despite the words of the song—to be packing so much more grace than she is but then we all know the power of love, don’t we?
She’ll be on the screen when she finally passes Mind Melding 101 but the class is excruciatingly tough even for a head-spinner like her.
By Jack Spicer
The faded blond out beauty Let my tongue cleave to my mouth If I forget you Floating peacefully They asked us to sing a sad song How, motherfucker, can I sing a sad song? Alone? Like the stone they said Osiris was When he came up dancing? Moon. If it were spelled m-u-n-e It would not cause madness Put your feet on the ground Money doesn’t grow on trees.
Armed with dry lightning A cry tears out the voice Spits out the mouth The sound dies away The gods? What gods?! Save your strange laughter For so long now, I have been with you alone I am all right
But above all, Ariana has a heart A heart in the form of a telephone In the form of a telephone wire In the form of a telephone dial In the form of a telephone booth To have listened through whole afternoon … To have listened across smiles
Children rock children I am among those ways of harsh sweetness Where the going is slow Because of the height where the heart takes breath The lightest dew—spelling its words out carefully Can make this oneness Sparkle for us
[paraphrased]
Marian wrote this song for his that time girlfriend Ariane Mummert. She was a drummer in his per-Alphaville band, Chinchilla Green. So, not much mystery in the lyrics. 😊
