This is how I play the song! Suggestions and corrections welcome!
I will try to separate the lyrics by what I think is Panda singing in [brackets.]
(All chord shapes relative to capo)
G
[Verse 1]
G Child [of limousines] C What's the best place, [That you have seen] D All of the hands, [That you have shook] C Home of the queen of, [Everything fancy] G Is there a smell, [That you can tell] C Gives you some peace, [Sends you to hell] D All of the beds, [That you have yearned] C Is there a dream to, [Where you'd return] G Where is the plight, [With the most stars] C Where do you drink, [By Echo guitars] D What's the best shore, [Seen from a boat] C Miniature heads that, [Color the shore line] G If you could rest, [A minute to tell] C Get me some grass, [Iridescent shells] D I know there's a nest, [Fit with a hatch] C Sunset a glowin', [Makes us all sweaty]
[Pre-Chorus 1]
G C Well, I don't even know where to begin or how I should start these days D C [The green mountain south or,] The Clay of the westerns G C The Maryland meadows at midnight they do have a misty grace D C [Take a trip to blue bayou,] Find Roy Orbison cryin' G C A continent molded from glass or maybe a town I can taste D C [Dresses that glow on,] Girls from Barcelona G C I wanna discover the key and open the everywhere place D C [A mix of sky from Montana,] Dipped in FloriDada
[Chorus]
G C Flori, Flori, Flori, Flori, Florida D C FloriDada, FloriDada G C Flori, Flori, Flori, Flori, Florida D C FloriDada, FloriDada

[Verse 2]
G Old [demented men] C Where is the place, [We can extend] D Crooked state lines, [Polka dot signs] C Say that this place is, [A state of mind] G Pretty lip girls, [Paint me the halls] C Not on a street, [Not near a mall] D Raise me a thumb, [From human skin] C That isn't judged by, [Where it begins] G Show me the clams, [Show me the pearls] C Mail me a note, [Sent from a world] D That isn't so far, [And always right here] C Where all the boundaries, [Have disappeared] G And all the nights, [Are stitched with a glue] C That's sticking to me, [And I'll stick to you] D And I'll take your hands, [You'll take my face] C And everywhere home will, [Be a good place]
[Pre-Chorus 2]
G C I found myself there a collagin' with all of the human race D C [A dancer from Ghana,] Smiling in Tijuana G C I Frankenstein java with touches of Prada and corn on the plates D C [A smear of gardenia,] In the fair hair of Sweden G C And maybe I actually visited some sort of mythical place D C [Or was it a future,] Connected by sutures G C Oh let's go get lost in the image I made of the everywhere place D C [I see the lads from Osaka,] Dyed in FloriDada
[Chorus]
G C Flori, Flori, Flori, Flori, Florida D C FloriDada, FloriDada G C Flori, Flori, Flori, Flori, Florida D C FloriDada, FloriDada
[Bridge]
C Bm (Where's) [the bridge that's gonna take me home] D A bridge that someone's fighting over C [A bridge that someone's paying for]
A bridge so old so let it go

[Chorus]
