lyrics
I don’t wanna go home
I wanna stay here
and watch the sun go down
Cause I found the million dollar recipe
and now I’m right
where I should be
It’s such a perfect bay
with a mountain view
it harbours my illusions
I’ll stay for a hundred years
if that’s what it takes
to rid you of all confusion
I’m the mooncracker
I’m a real beachshacker
I’m a selfish fucker
I’m the true imperial splendor
The sweet-talk diplomacy
is not art to me
it’s just a cheap disguise
I had a word with the man in charge
and I sentenced him
to invisibility
I said
‘I don’t care who you think you are
don’t come running to me
I won’t give you no advice’
Happy go hippie go lucky go
find your own show
find your own place
cause this is my space
I’m the mooncracker
I’m a real beachshacker
I’m a selfish fucker
I’m the true imperial splendor
The true imperial splendor
I’m the true imperial splendor
I don’t wanna go home
I wanna stay here
and watch the sun go down
