With an ivory pipe and a cummerbund. In the dead of night on the autobahn. With the long ago on the radio. And the dreaming moon. . We were young and in love.
I saw you standing at the airport. With your chihuahua in your hand. Crying on the moving sidewalk. On your way to Disneyland. . And the flowers she sent and the flowers she said she sent.
I met Ferdinand de Saussure. On a night like this. On love he said, "I'm not so sure. I even know what it is". . "No understanding, no closure. It is a nemesis.
Time provides the rope but love will tie the slipknot. And I will be the chair you kick away. You don't even like anything you like or the people you know.
At the dolls' tea party. we fritter away. The long afternoon of a warm summer day. With extended pinkies and pink cloisonn. Cups and saucers and pots and a liberty tray.
The cactus where your heart should be. Has lovely little flowers. So though it's always pricking me. My ardor never sours. . The cactus where your heart once was.
People of Earth, when you dance, dance the Dada Polka. Life is only a dream. When in the mood for romance dance the Dada Polka. Be as cute as you seem.
Tar-heel boy sings a song. 'Bout a girl who ain't comin' home. By n by, by n by. She worked too long in the mill. . She's gone to those rolling hills in the sky.
The book of love is long and boring No one can lift the damn thing. It's full of charts and facts and figures and instructions for dancing. but I I love it when you read to me and you you can read me anything.
I read your manifestoes and your strange religious tracts.. You took me to your library and kissed me in the stacks.. . Planets crash, the world goes nova,.
You used to slide down the carpeted stairs. Or down the banister. You stuttered like a kaleidoscope. 'Cause you knew too many words. . You used to make ginger bread houses.
Well, I don't care what people say. Life is too short to hang around. So I stay so long in a place. And then move on to the next town. . Oh, Sunset City.
There's an hour of sunshine for a million years of rain. But somehow that always seems to be enough. When love falls from the sky, nobody ever asks why.
Please forgive me for all the things I've done. Sugar, give me the love I need to carry on. Living, living without you, I'd just die. . With you, with you I can hold my head up high.
We used to dance like it was going out of style. When you loved me for a while. And I remember every word you ever said, every kiss. . We used to sing all the oldest songs we knew.
On the ferris wheel. Looking out on Coney Island. Under more stars than. There are prostitutes in Thailand. . Our hair in the air. Our lips blue from cotton candy.
You held me upside-down. Till I couldn't breathe anymore. Then you held me like a baby. Television, like wine and cigarettes. Like grains of sand and raspberry schnapps.
Well, you've got a really long name. It won't fit on any forms. You gave me all your mirrors and they made me deformed. . You're sending smoke signals.
Strange eyes, blue clocks without hands. Two lives lived in distant lands. Little blue mysteries. What did they see in me. . Strange eyes, early Picassos.
Seduced and abandoned and baby makes two. Baby, abandoned by you. Seduced and abandoned and what can I do?. I think I might drink a few. . Seduced with a grin, I was taken all in.
