I wanna be kissed from head to toe
By that man in the very back row
But he won't even look me in the eye

Are now high precision ghosts
And they're coming 'round the track to haunt me"

Still to be guessed, with extra lyrics -

Shooting stars in midnight pastures
And hanging out on clouds beneath the moon
Hitching rides on magic carpets
It's a fairy tale to me but you're in tune
