The B-52's

I wish to see your lips
Parting like the waves of silence and mystery
I've got a curious love-for you!
Ever since we met I'm so impressed with you
Ever since we met
I've been so impressed!

I'm havin' a vision
I'm havin' a vision
I can't wait forever-(I can't wait, I can't wait)
I'm havin' a vision of a kiss from your sweet lips
But I can wait 'till the twelfth of never
Don't shatter the vision
Don't shatter the vision
The burning vision of a kiss from your sweet lips

Been lonely for so long
My life jumped the track
Broken clock on the wall says I should head back
But the vision holds me
The vision holds me
Lost in a vision of a kiss from your sweet lips

Every time you speak
A pearl falls in my cup
You turn away, the pearl melts before I drink it up
No-don't shatter the vision
Don't shatter the vision
Lost in a vision of a kiss from your sweet lips

I'm havin' a vision
I'm havin' a vision
I can't wait forever-(I can't wait, I can't wait)
I'm havin' a vision of a kiss from your sweet lips
But I can wait 'till the twelfth of never
Don't shatter the vision
Don't shatter the vision
The burning vision of a kiss from your sweet lips

Srong wind is blowin' me down
To the center of town
Come on, seize the wilderness of the moment
Feel the movement of the moon-
Swans fly with wings wide open to the sky
Like a wild wave of birds goin' by
I know our souls will fly!

Things are out of focus
My face is wet with sweat
Though I've only seen you once
Just see how shaky I get
Would you even notice?
Would you even care?
I f you knew that every day I'm sitting there

I'm havin' a vision
I'm havin' a vision
I can't wait forever-(I can't wait, I can't wait)
I'm havin' a vision of a kiss from your sweet lips
But I can wait 'till the twelfth of never
Don't shatter the vision
Don't shatter the vision
The burning vision of a kiss from your sweet lips

Vision of a kiss
A vision
A vision
A vision
A vision of a kiss

I'm havin' a vision
I'm havin' a vision
I can't wait forever-(I can't wait, I can't wait)
I'm havin' a vision of a kiss from your sweet lips
But I can wait 'till the twelfth of never
Don't shatter the vision
Don't shatter the vision
The burning vision of a kiss from your sweet lips

Every time you speak
A pearl falls in my cup
You turn away, the pearl melts before I drink it up
The mystery unfolds...

The B-52’s, (now stylized as The B-52s) are an internationally successful New Wave band also known for their campy fashion. The group’s original line-up consisted of Fred Schneider, Kate Pierson, Keith Strickland, Cindy Wilson and Ricky Wilson. Originally, all members of the band played multiple instruments. However, after Ricky Wilson’s tragic AIDS-related death in 1985, instead of hiring a full-time replacement, Strickland transitioned to primarily playing guitar, and the band has used various other musicians for recording and touring purposes.

Their self-titled first album The B-52’s was released to critical acclaim in 1979, spawning the Canadian chart-topping hit “Rock Lobster”, which was also successful in Australia, New Zealand, the US and the UK. Rolling Stone magazine later placed the album at #152 on its list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.

Their second album, Wild Planet, released in 1980, spawned another minor US hit with “Private Idaho”. Whammy! followed in 1983, giving the band a third minor US hit with “Legal Tender”. Their fourth album, Bouncing Off the Satellites, was recorded and mixed but not yet released when Ricky Wilson died in October 1985. It was nearly a year before the album was released, in September 1986. It is the band’s only album that does not feature a picture of its members on the cover.
