Downtown. My darling dime store thief. In the War of Independence. Rock 'n' roll rang sweet as victory. Under neon signs. A girl was in bloom. And a woman was fading.
The street was loud. from an angry crowd and. i thought of you, i thought of you. dreamer. land of the free. no hungry bellies. impossible. impossible dreamer.
If you can keep your head. While all about you. People are losing theirs and blaming you. If you can trust yourself. When everybody doubts you. And make allowance for their doubting too..
Holy war. Genocide. Suicide. Hate and cruelty.... How can this be holy?. If I had a heart I'd cry.. . These ancient tales.... The good go to heaven. And the wicked ones burn in hell....
Where to begin to end uncertainty. Do I leave silently or boldly say farewell. How can I think of times that used to be. And find the smile I need to wish you well.
Daylight falls upon the path, the forest falls behind. Today I am not prey to dark uncertainty. The shadow trembles in its wrath, I've robbed its blackness blind.
The sleepless nights. The daily fights. The quick toboggan when you reach the heights. I miss the kisses and I miss the bites. I wish I were in love again.
I had a king in a tenement castle. Lately he's taken to painting the pastel walls brown. He's taken the curtains down. He's swept with the broom of contempt.
I was alone and sickly. It was a quarter of a moonlit night. I heard him cry through my window shade. And it filled me so full of fright. But I could not turn my back on him.
Funny day, looking for laughter and finding it there. Sunny day, braiding wild flowers and leaves in my hair. Picked up a pencil and wrote "I love you" in my finest hand.
Love is not a game with me. Played with inconsistency. Though my love turned out to be. Here today and gone tomorrow. . Love is like a candlelight. Sometimes flickering sometimes bright.
by Dan Hartman and Charlie Midnight. . Hard bodies. Soft emotions. So fast. So smart. The world is at your feet. But what about your heart?. Fame and fortune can't hold you tight.
I'm traveling in some vehicle. i'm sitting in some cafe. a defector from the petty wars. that shell shock love away. there's comfort in melancholy. when there's no need to explain.
Help me. I think I'm falling. In love again. When I get that crazy feeling. I know I'm in trouble again. I'm in trouble. 'Cause you're a rambler and a gambler.
Heatwaves on the runway. As the wheels set down. He takes his baggage off the carousel. He takes a taxi into town. Yellow schools of taxi fishes. Jonah in a ticking whale.
At the far end of the midway. by the double ferris wheel. there's a band that plays so snakey. you can't help how you feel. emmie mae ran away. with a man as dark as night.
Hana steps out of a storm. Into a stranger's warm, but. Hard-up kitchen.. She sees what must be done. So she takes off her coat. Rolls up her sleeves.
When Charlie speaks of Lester. You know someone great has gone. The sweetest swinging music man. Had a Porkie Pig hat on. A bright star. In a dark age.
He is three. One's in the middle unmoved. Waiting. To show what he sees. To the other two. To the one attacking--so afraid. And the one that keeps trying to love and trust.
I have to come and see you--. Maybe once or twice a year--. I think nothing would suit me better. (Right now). Than some downtown atmosphere .... In the dance halls and the galleries.
