All About Eve Babitz - Fantastic

can someone find this lyric??

I've tried to note the lyrics down (here's the song MySpace) unfortunately some words are still missing, either I couldn't understand them or I wasn't sure.. maybe someone else will help
I am also not very sure about the "dancing around" in the chorus could also be "bouncing"


I see my face coloured pink and green
In the window of a stretch limousine
I wonder who is sitting inside
Then the lights change green
And I cry: Don’t go, wait for me
I’ve done a lot of walking lately

Fantastic and I'm bouncing back like elastic
Because lately things have been dramatic, erratic
I’ve been running on automatic
Fantastic and I'm bouncing back like elastic
Because lately things have been dramatic, erratic

There’s a place I like to hide
Up on the roof looking up at the sky
I like to watch the aeroplanes
Shut my eyes, take off
To a late Concorde, wait for me
I’ve done a lot of walking lately

Fantastic and I'm bouncing back like elastic
Because lately things have been dramatic, erratic
I’ve been running on automatic
Fantastic and I'm bouncing back like elastic
Because lately things have been dramatic, erratic

I stagger home after dawn
I'm at the bus stop trying to keep warm
I feel good but I wanna cry
There’s a rainbow up in the stormy sky
But it’s mine and after all the rain comes sunshine

Fantastic and I'm bouncing back like elastic
Because lately things have been dramatic, erratic
I’ve been running on automatic
Fantastic and I'm bouncing back like elastic
Because lately things have been dramatic, erratic

Dramatic, erratic
I’ve been running on automatic

Fantastic, elastic

"I see my face coloured pink and green"
Could it be?

Hi Steena, your virtual coworker is here:

I think it is:
I see my face COLOURED PINK and green

Fantastic and that’s IN FACT like elastic

To a LATE Concorde wait for me

and in stead of: I’ve done a lot of walking lately
I understand: I´ve done a lot of DREAMING lately

I stagger home OF THE DOME (or DAWN)


... and I don´t know what ERRATIC means but could it also be EROTIC ?



Bye-bye Tahira

@Tahira:
about "erratic": http://www.iee.et.tu-dresden.de/cgi-...ase=on&hits=50

Btw, hello Tahira! Nice to see you! *waves*

AAAAHHHHH !

Thank you. So: ERRATIC is right - it makes more sense than erotic.


Hugs back to you!
Tahira

ah, the two of you are wonderful! Thanks for your help, so there's one part of a line missing so far

The Dorm/Dome/Dawn matter I hear something with "o".. but does Dome make any sense there?

uow... I'm portuguese, and my english is not yet perfect but I'm sure working on that hehe!

your work was fantastic! thank you

isn't it "And I criED: don't go, wait for me"?

Thanks for your help Petra
I think "cry" instead of "cried" is alright, since the whole stanza is written in the present tense.. but I could be wrong

I strikes me that it sais : I'M BOUNCING BACK LIKE ELASTIC

CHEERS!!

In addition, I think that what follows after "I STAGGER HOME", is "after dawn and at the bus stop trying to keep warm"

I Hear the same as Rodrigo

I'm bouncing back like elastic

I stagger home after dawn, i'm at the bus stop trying to keep warm

Thanks I've edited it, bouncing was among my first two impressions as well.

I'd rather say that de missing part after "I stagger home..." is "after dawn and at the bus stop trying to keep warm"

you're right *
thanks everyone for the lyric!! you people rock!
