on your back
dreaming sixteen dreams
stare at the ceiling
happy sweet Sistine
on your back
dreaming sixteen dreams
stare at the ceiling
happy sweet Sistine
happy sweet Sistine
be my
my Medici now
just 'til I turn things around

I stooped and I kneeled
to read the passage at the roadside shrine
I turned but could feel
the branches pull me down at my heel so
I stooped and I kneeled
to eat the flowers at the roadside shrine and
soon I could feel
the petals promise to mend and heal me
ooh ta-da!

on your back
dreaming sixteen dreams
stare at the ceiling
happy sweet Sistine
on your back
dreaming sixteen dreams
stare at the ceiling
happy sweet Sistine
happy sweet Sistine
be my
my marigold now
just 'til I turn things around

I stooped and I kneel
to ring the roses at the roadside shrine
I stood but could feel
the vines pull me down at my heel so
I stooped and I kneel
to drink the candles at the roadside shrine and
soon I could feel
the wax promise to mend and heal me
ooh ta-da!

Hark! the angels have broken wings and
you're such a sentimental thing and
in remembrance to thee I cling
you're such a sentimental thing when

Hark! the angels have broken wings and
you're such a sentimental thing when
in remembrance to thee I cling
you're such a sentimental thing when
you're such a sentimental thing

on your back
dreaming sixteen dreams
stare at the ceiling
happy sweet Sistine
on your back
dreaming sixteen dreams
stare at the ceiling
happy sweet Sistine
happy sweet Sistine
be my
my merry-go-round now
just 'til I turn things around
