Once I had a love and it was a gas
Soon turned out had a heart of glass
Seemed like the real thing, only to find
Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind
Once I had a love and it was divine
Soon found out I was losing my mind
It seemed like the real thing but I was so blind
Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind

In between
What I find is pleasing and I'm feeling fine

Was it destiny?

I don't know yet

Was it just by chance?

Could this be kismet?

Something in my consciousness told me you'd appear

Now I'm always touched by your presence dear

When we play at cards you use an extra sense

It's really not cheating, you know?

You can read my hand I've got no defense

When you send your messages, whispered loud and clear

Flight 45, last seen alive on the runway
Leaving for some fun in the hot tropic sun (back next Monday)
And our friends are at the airport
Cousin Bill says,
"Enjoy the water sports"
As we fly into the mystery
The film comes on and the Earth recedes
Several hours out - 20 minutes south of Bermuda
The communication's gone - something has to be so wrong
And it must be Jesus calling

(All the way down do it
Another way down
Why, yeah. What do you know, huh?)
I seen you skip
That cautious lip
Now tell me this
Through that cautious lip
You can be bit
As I make you it
I seen you skip
That cautious lip
A chance you'll fit
That cautious lip
It's just these things
Not really gifts
It's just these things
Not really gifts
I seen you skip
That cautious lip

Although I'm young I got a job to do.
Hid the microfilm in the lining of my shoe.
Call it a business trip.
Got to hide inside my trenchcoat and be clever .
I got my papers and a cyanide pill.
My polaroid's a taser in disguise.
There's a base in the hills, and the wheat fields looks like Kansas in November.
Astrovia, sweet comrade, your nation is your gun.

Oh Denis doo-be-do, I'm in love with you.
Denis doo-be-do, I'm in love with you.
Denis doo-be-do, I'm in love with you.
Denis Denis, oh with your eyes so blue...
Denis Denis, I've got a crush on you.
Denis Denis, I'm so in love with you.
Oh when we walk it always feels so nice,
and when we talk it seems like paradise.
Denis Denis I'm so in love with you.

You know he can't be tested.
He can't be read or found.
Urban gray takes breath away.
He wants to push his pedal to the ground.
And the night's what's right.
Puts him at the wheel.
Well, I eat danger.
Any stranger is all right.
Feel hot to go like Jimmy O.
Dodging flying objects at the show.
And the lights make me fight.
In Detroit 442...
Maybe, baby, I could ride with you.

I set my hand to writing you
It drifted off the page
I sold my one vision for a piece of the cake
I haven't ate in days
For unspoken value, aesthetic and charm
I'd smile at you sideways
But the lighting is wrong, I'm taking a picture and counting the cost
While the bells in my ears keep ringing

I set my hand to writing you
It drifted of the page

You got ants in your pants, I don't understand, I don't trust the flick of your eyes
You're a viper and love's a fever
You said something profane and went for a vein but in spite of your delicate touch
I should have known as much. I'm a bleeder
I didn't have the nerve to say no
I didn't have the nerve to say no

You caught me surprised and my will resigned. Torture the minds of them all

I'm on E.
I'm on E.
I'm on E.
Got nothin' to say.
I used to have a car of my own.
I'm on E.
I'm on E.
I'm on E for England.
Laid out for maybe a week.
I've walked my feet to the bone.
I'd give my life for a car of my own.
I'm on E.
I'm on E.
Two weeks ago saturday I was on TV.
I'd like a show of my own.
But you see I'm still on E even though everything is happening to me.

Hey, you've got an unnerving face
And twitching eyes like Norman Bates
You got a cigarette, eye on a mirror
Farm boy brown gas station sweeper
You took that girl, you put the saddle on her
Just thirteen, she's her daddy's apple
And she don't know you're the kidnapper, uh-huh
Hey, your Daddy's Whiskey Sam
He's got bloodshot eyes like Ray Milland
Playing solitaire, your Mother fidgets

We fell in love down at the pier
You were sunbathing, I was around
Soon we were sharing a beer
We fell in love at the pier
I'm no sentimental slob so don't think I'm queer
You got something baby and it ain't just my beer
Well, maybe it's the hot pants, maybe the heat
Or was it the sneakers you kicked of your feet?

I sat under my umbrella to keep my pearly skin

Eyes that tell me "Baby, you don't need no invitation"
Let me smoke another cigarette before I make a move
I can see me in the morning; losing my direction
Deep inside my overcoat, looking for the door
I don't wanna stay with you. I just wanna play with you
One sweet abbreviation sleeping like the dead
You think you're pretty, well, so do I. You came to me but, passion eyes

Don't look in here, yeah
Sundown finds him out of town on the overpass
His inner self glued to his point twenty-two
Dirty metal in the speed of night, lights and broken glass
My heart can destroy all I see
Moving streets all make me lonely
Come to me and be mine only
I can hide us far from sight, but you must wait and I must fight this nothingness
Walls, I see my little room

I always said you could make it.
I know what I said and I meant it.
I always liked the way you played guitar.
I always knew that someday you'd go far.
And if you do, will anything happen?
Will it come true, will anything happen?
Will I see you again?
You said you'd be through here again.
Please don't forget I'm here waiting.

I know a girl from a lonely street
Cold as ice cream but still as sweet
Dry your eyes sunday girl
Hey I saw your guy with a different girl
Looks like he's in another world
Run and hide sunday girl
Hurry up hurry up and wait
I stay away all week and still I wait
I got the blues
Please come see what your lovin means to me
She can't catch up with the working crowd

Stars live in the evening, but the very young need the sun.
Pretty baby, you look so heavenly.
A neo nebula from under the sun.
I was forming, some say I had my chance.
The boys were falling like an avalanche.
Ya ya baby, La Dolce Vita is a magic dance.
No one was listening.
Pretty baby, petite ingenue, teenage starlet, I fell in love with you.

All I want is a room with a view.
A sight worth seeing, a vision of you.
All I want is a room with a view, oh...
I will give you my finest hour, the one I spent watching you shower.
I will give you my finest hour, oh, yeah.
All I want is a photo in my wallet.
A small remembrance of something more solid.
All I want is a picture of you.
Picture this - a day in December.

One way,or another, I'm gonna find ya;
I'm gonna get ya get ya get ya get ya!
One way, or another, I'm gonna win ya;
I'm gonna get ya get ya get ya get ya!
One way, or another, I'm gonna see ya;
I'm gonna meet ya meet ya meet ya meet ya!
One day, maybe next week,
I'm gonna meet ya, I'm gonna meet ya, I'll meet ya!

{Bridge #1}
I will drive past your house,
And if the lights are all down,

O Don't ya know
Don't wanna see ya any more
Put up or shut up
Ya spell, ya read,
D.O.O.R.

Ya got a big mouth and I'm happy to see
Your foot is firmly entrenched where a molar should be

If you talk much louder you could get an award
From the Federal Communication Board

Don't be cruel
Be a thing - sweet thing
As a rule

Don't be sad
I left you in the street
You're pre-tab
I had to get away

You're gonna say you miss me.
You're gonna say you'll kiss me.
You're gonna say you love me 'cause I'm gonna love you too.
I don't care what you told me.
You're gonna say you'll hold me.
You're gonna say you love me 'cause I'm gonna love you too.
After all another fella took ya, but I still can't overlook ya.
I'm gonna do my best to hook ya after all is said and done.

Hey, y'know?
Uh, I dunno.
I know but I don't know.
I know but I don't know.
I know but I don't know.
I know but I don't know.
I give but I don't get.
I will but I won't yet.
I lose but I don't bet.
I'm your dog but not your pet.
Now I know but I don't care.
Then I know but I don't see.
Now I see but I don't know.
I care but I don't care.
I could but I won't be.
You can but not with me.

Once I had a love and it was a gas, soon turned out had a heart of glass.
Seemed like the real thing, only to find mucho mistrust.
Love's gone behind.
Once I had a love and it was divine.
Soon found out I was losing my mind.
It seemed like the real thing but I was so blind.
Mucho mistrust.
Love's gone behind.

In between what I find is pleasing and I'm feeling fine , love is so confusing.

I'm in the phone booth, it's the one across the hall.
If you don't answer, I'll just ring it off the wall.
I know he's there, but I just had to call.
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone.
I heard your mother, now she's going out the door.
Did she go to work or just go to the store?
All those things she said, I told you to ignore.
Oh why can't we talk again?

Ooh baby, I hear how you spend nighttime:
Wrapped like candy in a blue blue neon glow.
Fade away and radiate.
Ooh baby, watchful lines vibrate soft in brainwave time.
Silver pictures move so slow.
Golden tubes faintly glow.
Electric faces seem to merge.
Hidden voices mock your words.
The beams become my dream.
My dream is on the screen.
Dusty frames that still arrive die in 1955.

Leaning in your corner like a candidate for wax.
Sidewalk social scientist don't get no satisfaction from your cigarette
It's ten to ten.
Time is running out.
Lock up all your memories.
Get outa here, you know that we can run.
Today can last another million years.
Today could be the end of me.
It's 11:59, and I want to stay alive.
Pumping like a fugitive in cover from the night.
