Lyrics:

Neon flame on the window of an upstairs room
Helicopter beats across the face of the moon
Got a hunger that sprawls like this galaxy
Want to wrap my arms around you -- draw you right inside me
I want to go walking
With you Judy
Through the movie
Of the world

No matter what I do I feel your presence everywhere
I'll be just standing around and your scent comes at me
Out of nowhere
I see your face on the wall -- in the magazine too
Next thing you know the billboard out my window will be you
I want to go walking
With you Judy
Through the movie
Of the world

Today was a dog licking crap in the gutter of the street
Tonight is a dancer oscillating on weightless feet
So the fortune teller said you wouldn't end up with me
Last I heard only God gets to say what has to be

I want to walking
With you Judy
Through the movie
Of the world
