here she comes walkin' like out of a movie
here she comes lookin' authentically groovy
here she comes, second-generation flamingo
still snappin' her fingers to john, paul, george, and ringo

she's like a melody
she's like a vision
time steps aside and lets her go by

here she comes walkin' like a twin to her mother
her she comes talkin' how all men are brothers
she's totally free, another child of the flowers
she thinks about life not in years but in hours

uh-huh
she's like a memory, an apparition
time steps aside and lets her go by

she actually says things like peace, love, and free of mind
she collects the symbols and icons of the nation that was but really wasn't
she says maybe next time, maybe even this time

she's impossible, she's outrageous
time steps aside and lets her go by
it's incredible, it must be contagious
time steps aside and lets her go by
time steps aside and lets her go by
lets her go by
there she goes...
