Your eyes are long Vermont roads. With a tacky song on the radio. And your eyes are toothless young men. In Tennessee in the rain again. . And fireflies never go to sleep.
You're in your own little world, an expensive birdcage. Like a plastic baby in a Faberge egg. I saw you today at the Cafe Blase. And thought of the nights when we had fire fights.
I'm never going back to Jackson. I couldn't bear to show my face. I nearly killed you with my drinking. Wouldn't be caught dead in that place. . Lonely highway, only friend.
If I were Napoleon, you could be my Josephine. We could go to drive-in films in my red convertible. If I were Napoleon, I might be in magazines. I'd write some science fiction, science fiction about you.
All day snow covered us. Night-time, it was always night. The people on the street were made of meat. Black girl, trucks ran us down, blue boy. . The people on the sidewalk were traced in chalk.
Why would I stop loving you. A hundred years from now?. It's only time. It's only time. . What could stop this beating heart. Once it's made a vow?. It's only time.
Feels like December, but it's May. I've gone as pale as Doris day. The blue sky's torn asunder. By clouds that warn of thunder. Is this what they used to call love?.
Irma waits by the window. Vaguely looking down at her socks. And humming, possibly her. Father will come home with a box. . Of chocolates, possibly. Not father's memory.
Sing me the kind of song you hear in an operetta. In an operetta. Sing me the words I long to hear out of Violetta. In an operetta. . She will fast be outcast from her castle with nary a friend.
Now the clock is striking one. So we might as well begin it. As there's dancing to be done. And our time is not infinite. . If there's such a thing as love.
I'm tongue-tied and useless. I'm weak-kneed and brainless and then. I mumble some jumble. You kiss me, I'm history. I'm tongue-tied and useless again.
I was born, I hate this part. Being someone new. Being torn. Seeing someone who died, as you grew. Growing older is killing a child. Who laughed and smiled at anything.
I wish, I had an evil twin. Running round doing people in. I wish I had a very bad. And evil twin to do my will. . To cull and conquer, cut and kill. Just like I would.
Time stands still all I can feel is the time standing still. As you put down the keys and say, "Don't call me please". While the radio plays, I think I need a new heart.
You told me you loved me. I know where and when. Come sunrise, surprise. Surprise, the joke's on me again. . I know you don't love me. You know I don't care.
I wandered in these big blue shoes. Till we had nothin' left to lose. Nobody wants you when you're a circus clown. I should know, I looked all over town.
Bang, there was you. Too gold, too blue. You took the truth. I cried, you flew. . You called me mad. (And I am mad). As a hatter. Some fall in love. (Some fall in love).
We have walked in ancient times. And we've been burned for many crimes. We have ended many lives. But we never really died. . You have the sun, I have the moon.
True, I'd give my right arm. To keep you safe from harm. (To keep you safe from harm). And true, for you, I'd move to Ecuador. . And I'd keep a little farm.
So you quote love unquote me. Well, stranger things have come to be. But let's agree to disagree. 'Cause I don't believe you. I don't believe you. . You tell me, I'm not not cute.
