Your heartbeat is pulsing at night in your chest. It's gold and it's glowing with all the life you have left. I received your words from hospitals where you felt alone.
Well, could you be the one they talk about?. Well, hiding inside behind another door. Or is it only happiness you want?. Does wanting a feeling matter any more?.
I picked up my belongings in a nylon carry-all. Heard the porter call. . He said "the sky's the limit on this chartered trip away". . I guess I'd better stay.
I know I should be home 'cause I'm better off alone. Well, I know just were she'll be. She's always so nice even if it's for a price. . Well, I won't be there to long 'cause when.
Why do you sing to everybody but me?. Why do I let it go on?. You know that you've got a such a music. That song in my head all day long. . Careful girl with the wild eyes.
The lions roar. And young men soar. The flames all scorch. The circus floor. . Puppets on strings. All dance and sing. And flap their wings. Trumpets play sick lullabies.
She gave her little child a name. A ward of welfare she became. And then one day she met a man. Digging through the trash for cans. . Charity, chastity, prudence, and hope.
Take what you need while there's time. The city will be earth in a short while. If I'm not mistaken it's been in flames. You and I will escape to the seaside.
Love and hate was in the air. Like pollen from a flower. Somewhere in April time. They add another hour. . I guess I better think up a way to spend my time.
Chewing out a rhythm on my bubble gum. The sun is out and I want some. It's not hard, not far to reach. We can hitch a ride to Rockaway Beach. . Up on the roof, out on the street.
I look at your house. I wonder what goes on inside. When you have to cry yourself to sleep at night. Your parents fight. You don't know who's wrong or right.
Little children whirling, laughing. They don't know they should be scared. Give me that hope. Give me time to. . High above the [Incomprehensible] city.
Brick on your head. From the top of the ceiling. Urban sniper, urban killer. Won't be finished. Until you're dead. Urban sniper, urban killer. . Brick out the window, top of the head.
Saw this girl walkin' down the street. Seemed like the kind that I would wanna meet. What should I say? I really don't know. Would you like to come to a rock 'n roll show?.
Walking down a sunny street to the library. Checking out the latest books about outer space. Going to the fruit stand to buy a dozen oranges. She and the books and the oranges go back to her place.
As we sift through the hour glass. We realize that an hours passed. And not a person here is innocent. Were both as guilty as a sin. . It must have rained all through the night.
Well, I don't care about history. Rock, rock, rock 'n' roll high school. 'Cause that's not where I wanna be. Rock, rock, rock 'n' roll high school. . I just wanna have some kicks.
Got something to say. Like something to me. Just go ahead and spit it out. It's all the same, you see. . What's that, it doesn't make sense. Are you talking in tongues?.
In the backseat of a car. In the corner of a room. In the shadows where I hide, from you. . Do the Hospital Bed Crawl. And the terminal yell. And the violently alone I feel..
