I took a walk down New York avenue. Wearing my latest disguise. Enjoying the perfume of utter dismay. I was effectively anesthetized. Starving so arrogantly in jumble-sale clothes.
Calling cards of madness. Pull the brass men from their knees. To petrify more images to dangle. Just outside the reach. . Of the stunted and the dreamless ones.
So you think it's over. So you think that down's. The only way out. A sad excuse for lovers. With your head held high. And your heart still full of doubt.
It's warm tonight. It rained tonight. The windows are all open wide. Can't see the clock to check the time. Nothing is moving. When you walk through me.
Playing the game. With the chips on my shoulder. Checking in the mirror. As my coffee cup gets colder. . Stagger and swagger. Combing my hair. If tomorrow's not there.
We came to dance. Making moves from a passion play. . The ties that bind us just slip away.. We came to dance. The piper calls out a different rhyme. .
The words played on around our heads. Perhaps we went too far. We'll soldier on until the end again. . This clutching hand around my hand. So pitiful and frail.
Hai!. . Oh mystical East, on old postcards,. Your childhood dreams and energies.. Your temples' gardens, old world charm,. An ancient culture, torn and scarred..
(And we talked) Just the two of us.. (All the time) Nothing serious.. (We pretend) Time is on our side.. ('Til the end) When the scream subsides.. . Yes, we had it all, had the key gripped in our hands..
Move on as we step in time. Strange words from the other line. Edging forward, feeling strong. Syncopate with the marching song. Thoughts and dreams flick across your mind.
(Willcox). This is your five minute call five minutes ladies and gentlemen thank you. Where's my lunch?. Where's my fucking lunch?. Big big tears. By the bright blue sea.
Where will you go, when the sirens blow?. Will you run helter-skelter, in search of a shelter. Or will you lie low?. Will you sit there clutching at your lucky charm.
We're the lords of the jungle. We're the war boys,. We're the ones who make all the noise.. . Lay-oh Lay-oh Lay-oh. Layay man tey sa-ra-rai. Lay-oh Lay-oh Lay-oh.
This is a word in your ear. Can you hear?. We have come for your minds. We walk the streets arm in arm. Hand in hand. With charm and chance. We are the chosen ones.
Exploring. Down through the great white. Up through the sink. Amble across the kitchen floor. Scurry up the walls to the ceiling. Around, Around. Around, Around.
Don't try to hide. The mistakes I made this time. But please try and listen. Cause I'm breaking my heart tonight. So you can see what's inside. Cause wherever you go, well that's where I'll go.
Conjure up the good. Like you would. When you were young. . Souls within the plastic. And all was magic. And innocent. . Cigarettes in lavatories. I reminisce on odd childhood things.
The story of my life I can't quite comprehend. Don't tell me if you know how it ends. When everywhere you go feels like a mirror maze. And you're not sure how you're stuck in this place.
You always told. Me you could fly, open, aching, naked against the sky. . And for just a little while, I believed I believed. You shine just like the sun, you were the only one I ever.
I've seen you falling behind your dreams. And pictures changing without the scenes. Broken stories and borrowed lines. Ain't it hard these days. To get on your way.
