Psychedelic invocations Of Mata Hari at the station I give to you A Javan princess of Hindu birth A woman of flesh, a child of the earth I give to you The hanging gardens of Babylon Miles Davis, the black unicorn I give to you The palaces of Montezuma And the gardens of Akbar's tomb I give to you The Spider Goddess and the Needle Boy The slave-dwarves that they employ I give to you A custard-coloured super-dream Of Ali MacGraw and Steve McQueen I give to you Chorus C'mon baby, get me out of the cold And gimme, gimme, gimmе your precious love for me to hold C'mon baby, gеt me out of the cold And gimme, gimme, gimme your precious love for me to hold Verse 2 The epic of Gilgamesh A pretty little black A-line dress I'll buy it for you The spinal cord of JFK Wrapped in Marilyn Monroe's negligee I give to you I want nothing in return Just the softest little breathless word I ask of you A word contained in a grain of sand That can barely walk, can't even stand I ask of you Chorus C'mon baby, get me out of the cold And gimme, gimme, gimme your precious love for me to hold C'mon baby, get me out of the cold And gimme, gimme, gimme your precious love for me to hold
