I saw a lion lying on the bed. I cut my nails and cut my hair. she scratched my back and split my head. so I rubbed her back and brushed her hair. . I wish we knew.
Here it is morning again life unstoppable. I'd open my eyes if it were still possible. Just tell me why, tell me why, tell me why. . There were days when I thought we could.
You turn your head, I rest on you. Beneath my skin, inside my bones. You guide my hand, what can I do but touch you. . You lift your head, I press on you.
It was the hour you make confidences to a stranger. It seemed I'd become nearly human enough to think of another person's trouble. And we were fellow strangers, then.
How does it feel?. This is how it feels. Like falling into the hole you say. Has replaced you soul. I never did the things you say. I'd never hurt you that way.
Prayers sent a million pieces. Hang on tightly insight. There now in the basement. Voices in the kitchen. My hands you know down there. Falling tightly inside.
Wake up breathe keep breathing. . You don't trade money here. You trade information. And skin. Right now there are thousands of forgotten people. Trying to remember you.
* Contraband. . We'(ve) been friends for a long term run. Shared the goods & we shared the fun. But it's true that nobody knows. & no one can tell. Why in heaven do these moments come.
You act so tough. But I know what you're doin'. You think fallin' in love. Means fallin' to ruin. . You build your walls so high. You act your life out all alone.
The street lights are shining bright tonite. The billboards are shedding their light tonite. My crowds are hanging around tonite. . There's a charge in the air tonite.
Clothes hanger lollipop. Magazine photo op. I'd rather be a pin-up girl. Than zero size. . Throw me a curve it looks so fine. . Wishing there was less of you?.
We all know the chosen toys. Of catty girls and pretty boys. Make up that face. Jump in the race. . Life's a kick in this town. Life's a kick in this town.
This old feeling, it's new to me. I'm not sure how I should be. I'd tattoo my vow for all to see. To prove how much you mean to me. . A million times said in as many songs.
Freeway fell into the bay. Popes on L.S.D.. Muslim girls are getting down. In bikinis. . Nazis selling Tupperware. Door to door. Telepreachers mud-wrestling.
The way you dance. You move in self romance. And you don't see me watch. The way you dance. Your eyes close in a trance. So you don't see me watching.
Don't want to hear the things you'd do to me. Only if you could. I don't want you to get near to me. It just might feel too good. . Don't lead me. Where we shouldn't go.
*Horn Intro*. . There's a tin penny for the man. Who keeps the dance movin', movin', groovin'. He sets the mood for the swingin' tonight, alright. And the mood it is so right.
Puttin' it on, takin' it off, ain't no thang gettin' paid off! (x4). . This time is a good time. For the best in you to come true. The whole world can be so cruel, so cruel.
They dance all night. They move to the light. But go home all alone. They know just how to play. But they're anxious for the day. They go home all alone.
You, you can try to keep me down,. hold me under, watch me drown,. given half a chance to breath,. I know I can break this tragedy. . (Chorus). Nothing you can say, nothing you can do,.
