Yousui Inoue, English lyric Ralph McCarthy)



Deep in the pale light of a sunrise

Human eye have never seen

A purple bus rolls up inside a lonely hobo

Wino's dream

Two lovers get aboard

And sink into a narrow velvet seat

Looking for something that reality

Has driven from the streets



During the afternoon they kiss

About eleven million times

They ask how far, the driver tells them

"Hey, it's only in your mind"

Sunset, around a curve,

The tires on the bus let out a whine

And up ahead they see it written

]On a yellow neon sign



* Welcome to the Riverside

Lovely Hotel Riverside

For a very special price

A touch of paradise



They check in at the front and sail up

To the room where Elvis stayed

The moon's so bright they put on sunglasses

And pull down all the shades

The TV's wall-to-wall and reaches

>From the ceiling to the floor

They pull the plug and touch the bullet holes

And kiss a little more



They dive in bed and swim around like

Rainbow trout inside a pool

Then dress up in each other's clothes

And soon they've broken all the rules

They turn the TV on

And snuggle up between the satin sheets

And see a hobo lying frozen

On a windy city street



* Repeat
