I saw you sliding out the bar. I saw you slipping out the back door, baby. Don't even try and find a line this time. It's fine darling, you're still divine.
I've been trying to get my head around,. what the fuck is happening?. I'm trying to make some sense out of. whatcha doin' with my head.. . it's like a skydive.
You never get that taste. Out of your mouth. You never get the paw prints. Out of the hen house now. . And you can't go back. Same way you came. Round all the pieces up.
Come on in, sweetie-pie, have an apple, have some lye. Leave your friends, righteous and pathetic, standing at the door. On the books, all your bets, favor head-bands and cassettes.
Turn up the radio and turn off the lights.. I want it loud as hell, I want the walls to melt, 'cause I got to lose myself tonight.. So turn off the lights..
Fingers blistered from the nightly scratching at the window. Which won't open far enough to let air in. The house wins, oh, the house always wins. . Feral cats are screaming at the clouds beneath the window.
Skyscrapers please forgive me I didn't mean a word I said. Skyscrapers I was just tangled up in my own head. And somehow in all the madness I thought that I was seeing straight.

(Oh, no). Oh lately, it's so quiet in this place. You're not 'round every corner, oh. . (Oh no). Oh lately, it's so quiet in this place. So darlin', if you're not here haunting me.
J's locked out on the fire escape. Sarah's still down on the bench at the Circle K. Cryin' and cryin' all day. And everybody's best attempts didn't do no good.
If you should be the last autumn leaf. Hanging from the tree. I'll still be here waiting on the breeze. To bring you down to me. . And if it takes forever.

I know you gotta go and there's some shit you gotta do, and, oh, all this talk is bringing you down.. . Oh yeah, it's getting late, and all these things we've been saying, it's the same old circle going round..
At first there was, there was just no question. Who wouldn't rather be there reflection. When I get here everything was cold and perfect. When I get here everything was cold and perfect.
It could be ten, but then again. I can't remember half an hour since a quarter to four. Throw on your clothes, the second side of Surfer Rosa. And you leave me with my jaw on the floor, hey!.
Quit acting, so friendly. Don't nod, don't laugh all nicely. Don't think you'll up-end me. Don't sigh, don't sip your iced-tea. And don't say it's been a while.
You're not the prettiest girl in town. I'm not the only boy with sullied clothes and a sullen frown, so. To hell with Valentine's, to hell with perfume.
Before the earth was round. There was no end to things. No one tried to measure what they knew. . Everything was warm. And everyone would love. And every contradiction was true.
In the dream you were someone different. You and everyone else all at once. You were beautiful, you were beautiful. In the dream you were just like you are.
