Daddy's flown across the ocean. Leaving just a memory. Snapshot in the family album. Daddy what else did you leave for me?. Daddy, what'd'ja leave behind for me?.
Doctor Doctor what is wrong with me. This supermarket life is getting long. What is the heart life of a colour TV. What is the shelf life of a teenage queen.
An angel on a Harley. Pulls across to greet a fellow rolling stone. Puts his bike up on it's stand. Leans back and then extends. A scarred and greasy hand...he said.
[Waitress:] "Hello, you wanna cup of coffee?". [Customers:] "Heh, Turn that fucking juke box down. You want to turn down that juke box....loud in here".
And the moment of clarity. Faded like charity does. Sometimes. I open one eye. And I put out my hand just to touch your soft hair. To make sure in the darkness that you were still there.
As cars go by I cast my mind's eye. Over back packs on roof racks. Beyond the horizon. Where dream makers. Working white plastic processors. Invite the unwary.
For the first time today. I feel it's really over. You were my everyday excuse. For playing deaf, dumb and blind. And who'd have ever thought. This was how it would end for you and me.
[Trucker:} "Hey kid, you looking for a lift?. Get on up here. How's it going good buddy?". I nailed ducks to the wall. Kept my heart in dark ruins. I built bungalows over the hills.
For the first time today. I held her naked body next to mine. In this hotel overlooking the Rhine. I made her mine. Ooh babe...ooh babe. Come with me and stay with me.
Hey...girl. Take out the dagger. And let's have a stab at the sexual revolution. Hey girl. Let freedom for all be our rallying call. Tomorrow lets make our new resolution.
I just cowered in the corner. My pyjama coat over my head. And she smiled as she finished her sandwich. And her cold eyes fixed me to my dark history.
(Apparently they were travelling abroad). (And they picked up some hitchhikers). [Jade:] "Oh God....". [Wife:] "Wake up you're dreaming.". [Jade:] "What?".
So I stood by the roadside. The soles of my running shoes gripping. The tarmac like gunmetal magnets. Fixed on the front of her Fassbinder face. Was the kind of a smile.
Sleep Sleep. I know that I'm only dreaming. [Jade:] "Leave her alone. get out..out..get out of my house!". Through closed eyes. I see West German skies on the ceiling.
All my days, down the neck,. We're not awake, I'd fall through. Wanna be there, could've been more. Suddenly thought I'd know I wasn't there. Wanna be there, could've been more.
Orange lamps shine by willow bay. Ice covers from the lake to where I lay. In a state. In which I dream. . If you were here. Winter wouldn't pass quite so slow.
Clear my eyes from this. Every so that I don't mind. Oh no no no no. Said I, well I. Don't, don't wanna know. Even if you say, love, that you. Wanna find my heart, oh.
We have forgotten so much since then. The scent of her breath again. Or maybe it's the way that we felt on the phone. Stop looking up to pretend. Everything is still there.
We both had doubts. We both had doubts. I found myself while I was away. All your life, now I understand. So many hours. And no company. But you imagine things.
