(You are about to see a preview of the most fantastic advance
ever to be made in the history of motion picture entertainment,
called "Hypnovista."
It is a psychological technique whereby you,
seated in the auditorium,
actually become part of the action you see on the screen.
Let me show you something.
You will feel absolutely no pain at all.
How do you feel?
Fine, thanks to you.
Thank you, young lady,
we'll get back to removing these needles in just a few moments.
This is the power of suggestion.
This is the power of suggestion.
This is the power of suggestion.
This is the power of suggestion.
This is the power of suggestion.
This is the power of suggestion.)

I would search this world for you
Even though you can't imagine
I wanna take you to China
I wanna kiss you in Rome
I use rocket ships
And mine sweepers
Transistor radio receivers
I wanna hold you
Wanna hold you too tight
Gonna break every bone
Of everybody in sight

When I'm flying so high
(Flying too high)
Like a bird in the sky
But you're dragging me down, yeah
But you're dragging me down, yeah
But you're dragging me down
Down down down

I heard your talking and whispers
Pale drawn out nails and fingers
I see the shapes behind the curtains
You're looking older
But you can't be certain
You're so tired but you just can't sleep
You're so shallow but you're in too deep
Your hands shaking, body strectching
Bodies mine
I know, I know, 'cause I told you so

When I'm flying so high
(Flying too high)
Like a plane in the sky
But you're dragging me down, yeah
But you're dragging me down, yeah
But you're dragging me down
Down down down

You're dragging me down
You're dragging me down
Dra-dra-dragging me down
You're dragging me drag
Dra-dra-dra-dragging me down
You're dragging me down
You're dragging me down

I never can quite remember
Was it June, July or September
That you sold your soul to me, to me
That you sold your soul to me, to me

When I'm flying so high
(Flying too high)
Like a cloud in the sky
But you're dragging me down, yeah
But you're dragging me down, yeah
But you're dragging me down, yeah

When I'm flying so high
(Flying too high)
Like a star in the sky
But you're dragging me down
But you're dragging me down
Down down down

Dragging me down
Dragging me down
Dragging me down
Dragging me down
