What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Well, she wakes up filled with joy and hope
2
Immediately checks her horoscope
3
Find out which side of the bed she should get up on.
4
Then she calls a seance around the table
5
Ask Cleopatra and Clark Gable
6
Whether or not she should
7
Put her bra with the double-A cup on.
8
Takes a spin on the ouija board,
9
Asked the blessings of the lord
10
As she throws her e-Ching on the ground,
11
And then she checks her hand to see
12
If while she was sleeping mysteriously
13
Somebody snuck in changed her life line all around.
14
And I looked out her window at the Sausalito Bay...
15
Plane flying low over Gate Five, and I missed it.
16
Well, I should be in Chicago now,
17
But I stayed one extra day,
18
And Sausalito Witch has got me twisted.
19
Got me twisted.
20
She wears a Star of David
21
And a crucifix.
22
And she's only turned occasional tricks
23
To pay the rent till I come along to save her.
24
Start lickin' my toes
25
And when I groan, she says
26
"Go away". She wants to be alone
27
With a cold bottle that a guru gave her.
28
She says she ain't loved nuthin'
29
Since she lost a copy of 'The Little Prince'
30
And that rumor about her and her grilfriend,
31
There ain't nuthin to it.
32
But she only makes love on September 22
33
And the belle of the dance
34
The night she beckons
35
And she reckons that it'll be another year
36
Before we have a chance to do it.
37
And the houseboat keeps on rockin' on Sausalito Bay
38
A plane flying over Gate Five
39
And I missed it.
40
Well, I should be in Chicago now,
41
But I stayed one extra day.
42
And Sausalito Witch has got me twisted.
43
Got me twisted.
44
She's a natural girl.
45
She's got a natural look.
46
She eats nature foods.
47
She got natural needs
48
Like a little early-morning wake-up speed,
49
And if you got a little bit a smack,
50
She just might try it.
51
Then she smokes some shit
52
But that's all right.
53
That's just to help her appetite.
54
And that Dex she took that's just to help her diet.
55
Well, she dropped some acid to free her soul
56
Takes Enovid for birthcontrol
57
Teriomyacin for her non-specific
58
She snorts some coke to help her ball
59
And goes to sleep with Seconol
60
And then tells me, "Ain't this natural life terrific?"
61
And the houseboat keeps on rockin'
62
On Sausalito Bay.
63
A plane flying over Gate Five
64
And I missed it.
65
Well, I should be in Chicago,
66
But I stayed one extra day.
67
And Sausalito Witch has got me twisted.
68
Say, Sausalito Witch has got me twisted.
69
Sausalito Witch has got me turned around
70
And talkin' to my elbow.... [fade]
