Bells around St. Petersburg
When I saw you
I hope I get what you deserve
And this is where I find
Smoke's around your perfect face
And I'm falling
Pushin' a broom out into space
And this is where I found the way

Chorus:

The Stadium Arcadium
A mirror to the moon (mirror to the moon)
Well I'm forming and I'm warming (warming to you)
State of the art until the clouds come crashing
Stranger things have happened both
Before and afternoon (before and afternoon)
Well I'm forming and I'm warming (warming to you)
Pushing myself and no I don't mind asking now

. . . . . . .

Alone inside my forest room
And it's stormy
I never thought I'd be in bloom
But this is where I start

Derelict days, and the stereo plays
For the all night crowd that it cannot face

And I'm calling

Tedious weeds that the media breeds
But the animal get's what the animal needs

And I'm sorry

Stadium Arcadium
A mirror to the moon (mirror to the moon)
Well I'm forming and I'm warming (warming to you)
State of the art until the clouds come crashing
Stranger things have happened both
Before and afternoon (before and afternoon)
Well I'm forming and I'm warming (warming to you)
Pushing myself and no I don't mind asking now

. . . . . .

And this is where I find
Praise of coast that wraparound your citizen
Kind enough to disavow
This is where I stand

Stadium Arcadium
A mirror to the moon (mirror to the moon)
Well I'm forming and I'm warming (warming to you)
State of the art until the clouds come crashing
Stranger things have happened both
Before and afternoon (before and afternoon)
Well I'm forming and I'm warming (warming to you)
Pushing myself and no I don't mind asking

Stadium Arcadium
A mirror to the moon (mirror to the moon)
Well I'm forming and I'm warming (warming to you)
State of the art until the clouds come crashing
Stranger things have happened both
Before and afternoon (before and afternoon)
Well I'm forming and I'm warming (warming to you)
To you
