I finally saw all the lyrics on youtube. I knew some of them, but not all of them. It happens because singers aren't always clear when they sing beep

"Warm smell of colitis rising up through the air."

"Wrapped up like a douche, another rumor in the night?" Heh heh.
"Well, the world needs ditch diggers, too."

I used to think "blazin' sky" was "Cajun sky".

"You know that place between sleep and awake?That's where I'll always love you." - Tinkerbell

"Gonna be a man in motion, all I need is a pair of wings."

I know this an old post, but I just have to share my misheard lyrics of this song.
I was 15 when it came out and bought the single in summer of '85.
Towards the end of the song where Parr sings:
"I can hear the music playing, I can see the banners fly"
Now don't laugh.but I always heard (and also sang along).
"I can hear the music playing, I can see the
pandas
fly"
Yes, I did wonder to myself that it made absolutely no sense, but I liked the image of pandas flying, so that's how I always allowed myself to hear it.
It wasn't until many years later online when I read the lyrics that I laughed out loud saying."ohhhh! THAT'S what he's saying!"
But you know what?I still prefer the image of the pandas flying and continue singing it that way.

I did too! Ha, I never realized it was wrong until I saw your post!
