Black Romance Lyrics - Singles - Jim Carroll

Everything you ever wanted 

Is passing with the driving rain 

I died like a salamander 

On my heart heavy like a chain 

I been waiting here at the uptown theater 

And it's all becoming clear that 

Refrain: 

It's too much head 

And not much heart 

But if you think about the end 

It might never get started 

It's a black romance 

But it's one more chance 

And if you fight out of spite 

You know that just ain't right 

Everyone you ever cared for 

Is staying at the big hotel 

I'm in the lobby with my hobby 

And my rags and my bags 

And the desk man rings a bell 

I put a sign on my brain 

That said, "do not disturb" 

But the maids keep walking in 

Then they make these beds 

Inside my head 

I wish they'd throw everything out instead 

Repeat refrain 

Little girl go out dancing 

Little girl dance all night 

Little girl dance to a love that's pure 

[. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ? ] 

I could hold your soul before a 1000 watt bulb 

It wouldn't shine back at me 

Repeat refrain
