Arabella’s got some interstellar gator skin boots
And a Helter Skelter ’round her little finger and I ride it endlessly
She’s got a Barbarella silver swimsuit
And when she needs to shelter from reality
She takes a dip in my daydreams

Em Am G Em
My days end best when the sunset gets itself behind
Am G Em
That little lady sitting on the passen-ger side
Am G Em
It’s much less picturesque without her catching the light

The horizon tries but it’s just not as kind on the eyes
Em G Em Am Em G Em Bm
As Arabella
Em G Em Am Em G Em Bm
Oh As Arabella

Em G Em Am Em G Em Bm
Just might’ve tapped into your mind and soul
Em G EmAmEmG Em Bm
You ca–a–n’t be sure

Arabella’s got a ‘70s head
But she’s a modern lover
It’s an exploration she’s made of outer space
And her lips are like the galaxy’s edge
And her kiss the color of a constellation falling into place

Em Am G Em

You ca–a–n’t be sure

(That’s magic) in a cheetah print coat
(Just a slip) underneath it I hope
(Asking if) I can have one of those
(Organic) cigarettes that she smokes
(Rubs her lips) ’round a Mexican Coke
(Makes you wish) that you were the bottle
(Takes a sip) of your soul, and it sounds like
