I don't want to hold you and feel so helpless I don't want to smell you and lose my senses And smile in slow motion with eyes in love I twist like a corkscrew, the sweetness rising I drink from the bottle weeping Why won't you last? Why can't you last? So I will walk without care, beat my snare Look like a man who means business Go to all the poshest places with their familiar faces Terminate all signs of weakness Chorus: Oh, all for the sake, all for the sake of a foolish love I will take my coffee black, never snack hang with the wolves who are sheepish Flow through the veins of town, always frown Me and my mistress the princess Chorus So the day Noah's Ark floats down park My eyes will be simply glazed over Or better yet I'll wear shades on sunless days And when the sun's out I'll stay and slumber Chorus |

Your skin is cold, but the sun shines within your hold Your hair is gold, but you see through a goldfish bowl I feel old, sick and tired We walk the streets, gently staring, wondering what to do The sun in sheets, pouring down those streets to eyes green and blue And a ship with eight sails could come 'round the bend Or a herd of bulls charging stop lights red I'd be blind Chorus: You broke my heart Danny Boy Not your fault Danny Boy I was hanged at the doorstep, played like a two to a fourset Had like poor Job in the bible by God Day comes I wake, I wake with a hard heartache I go down to your place We sit and chat, chat about New York and trips to the bayou My smile a trick, tricking me and trying not to scare you And a ship with eight sails could come 'round the ben Or a herd of bulls charging stop lights red I'd be blind |

Oh, what a shame that your pockets did bleed on St.Valentine's And you sat in a chair thinking: "Boy, I'm such a prince!" Well life's a train that goes from February on day by day But it's making a stop on April first. And you will believe in love And all that it's supposed to be. But just until the fish start to smell And you're struck down by a hammer. Sure you were swift when the handsome Greek boys dropped by with gifts You are suave thanks to the ribbons that open sesame But in the stars and closer to home than in every planet It ain't hard for me and dear Jo Jo to see. Chorus So let it all go by looking at the sky Wondering if there are clouds and stuff in hell. |

You gave me all your love in one day You gave it all and almost faded away Well I'm gonna take this sad unread issue In my arms tonight Looking at hospitals Victorian Feeling as helpless as the Elephant Man Wish you were here to chain you up without shame In my arms tonight So if you should feel a bit out of place This vision not unlike a shooting star I have embraced 'Cause You gave me all your love in one day You gave it all and almost faded away Well I'm gonna take this sad unread issue In my arms tonight Looking at hospitals Victorian Feeling as helpless as the Elephant Man Wish you were here to chain you up without shame In my arms tonight I ain't a soft and saccharine wannabe Still I pray to God this song will end happily So I offer you a place to rest and forget yourself In my arms tonight |

The boys and girls of Millbrook Are on a train from New York Wearing new hats Shooting the shit Deep in the heart of Dutchess County, Bounty And all the evening breakdowns Will soon be washed from their hands The next very day,as they make way Eating the apple to the chapel, Holy Don't even try, they'll get away with murder Sure as the rain washes away and brings thunder Oh tell me you can see it The gentle tower rising Over the pines, out of a book Zion mistaken for the state of Millbrook |

Nothing so bright, nothing so smooth, nothing so pure As my baby All of my life days into night, all I did dream Was my baby Until the days darkness entwined with silver eyes Was my baby staring at me And since then I can't see straight And since then my smile's been fake Funny I know the troubles I've seen But through one eye only that's clean If you bring along your needles Then I'll bring my sharpened pencils And draw one more comic tragedy My baby So call up the child players From madam we'll rent the parlor And dance to death till I can't see My baby |

I never had it I never wanted it I never had your beauty mark Nor did i have your black hair And hazel eyes My early childhood was not as simple As yours set in the country No i did not have a fear of nuns who dressed in black But i do have your taste I had no radio show Nor did i have home-made clothes Home-made curtains of the same material I never had it I never wanted it I never had your beauty mark But i do have your taste And i do have your round face and long hands I think Callas sang a lovely ""norma"" You prefer Robson in ""deep river"" I may not be so manly But still i know you love me Even if i don't have your beauty mark |

The summer sun set a vicious circus When shadows held the world in place But today I felt a chill in my apartment's coolest place Fuggi regal fantasima The village larks cannot be heard Cause all the crows got panderers I can't escape these velvet drapes Don't want my rings to fall off my fingers Fuggi regal fantasima The mirror I find hard to face Cause I fear it's a long way down Got to get away from here Think I know which hemisphere Crazy me don't think there's pain in barcelona They dance you round a waltz confound But I fear it's a long way down This road Even if that straw I pulled And I got to fight that bull Nothing really does compare to barcelona Besides in spain don juan's to blame But I fear it's a long way down And I fear i won't be around Got to get away from here Think I know which hemisphere Make sure i have all my papers Laying out my summer clothes Search for traps in vain like scratching So my suitcase I can close Fuggi regal fantasima |

This is the day The day of the death The death of the matinee idol Still so beautiful as the angels As the angels came down from high So sweet and so soft So charmingly daft So young was the matinee idol Lips of crimson, slightly open As the flash and all fame put to rest Walk along that wall No it is not from the academy Walk along that wall From this moment on You'll cease to be the undying love of the public eye And so goes one more away from the maze Away for to sit at the table above babel Far from this world While standing on the boulevard Walk along that wall No it is not from the academy Walk along that wall From this moment on You'll cease to be But still Whomever has looked at beauty is marked out already by death Still so beautiful as the angels As the angels came down from high |

Desdemona, do not go to sleep
Brown-eyed tosca, don't believe the creep I see it in his eyes And why don't you ladies believe me when i'm screaming I always believe you Violetta, keep your man locked up Or like cio-cio You will end up burned by love or sickness And why don't you ladies believe me when i'm screaming I always believe you There is a knock at the door Tell me it's not mimi again Or is it Gilda's waiting passion to be stabbed and killed again Katya kabanova, why did you marry him? You knew his mother was a bitch And would keep hold of him Oh pamina got away from mama Before the age of rambo opera Damned ladies of orpheus Your arias cause a stir in my sad and lonely heart |

My true love did breathe by the sally ann so softly That while walking through town Only my heart did hear him In views of the city There ain't many folks by the sally an so pretty That while walking through town Many a twisted feature made a terrible beauty And then i knew I'd been there before One thing you must know by the sally ann directly Is that the pockets don't hold any more sunken treasure After baptism by whiskey But when leaving the bar by the sally ann just barely That old angel may allow light from above the mountain And red brick walls blooming, you might see And then you'll know You've been there before |

Every kind of love, or at least my kind of love Must be an imaginary love to start with Guess that can explain the rain, waiting walking game Schubert broke my brain to start with Hoped to look at you in a cab Back of your head across my lap Oh what grace, green back seat against the red of your face Hoped to look at you in any old grand hotel Drunken demands gave way to reservations Oh what a room, champagne brings such happy faces, happy faces 'Cause every kind of love, or at least my kind of love Must be an imaginary love to start with Guess that can explain the rain, waiting walking game Schubert broke my brain to start with |
