the realm of soft delusions, floating on the leaves
on a distant shoreline, she waves her arms to me
as all the thought police, are closing in for sleep
the dilly dally, of my bright lit stay
the steam of my misfortunes
has given me the power to be afraid
and in my mind I'm everyone
and in my mind
without a care in this whole world
without a care in this whole world
without a care in this life
it's what you take that makes it right
porcelina of the oceans blue
porcelina
porcelina
in the slipstream, of thoughtless thoughts
the light of all that's good, the light of all that's true
to the fringes gladly, I walk unadorned
with gods and their creations
with filth and disease
porcelina, she waits for me there
with seashell hissing lullabyes
and whispers fathomed deep inside my own
hidden thoughts and alibis
my secret thoughts come alive
without a care in this whole world
without a care in this whold world
without a care in this life
it's what you take that makes it right
and in my mind I'm everyone
and in my mind I'm everyeone
in my mind I'm everyone of you
you make it right
it's all alright
you make it right
porcelina of the oceans blue
porcelina of the oceans blue

"In the choruses of 'Porcelina,' James came up with a nice
descending line. I always encourage him to go off, with the only limitation being that he should listen
to the vocal. His guitar should get some opposing ideas to the vocal, something completely different from what else is
going on. If it helps expand the song without getting in the way of the vocal, that satisfies everything we're looking
for in an additional part."
