Girl At Her Volcano lyrics

(written by Billy Strahorn)

I used to visit all the very gay places

Those come-what-may places
I used to visit all the very gay places
Where one relaxes on the axis of the wheel of life
To get the feel of life
From jazz and cocktails.

The girls I knew had sad and sullen gray faces
With distingue traces
That used to be there -- You could see where they'd been washed away

(Rickie Lee Jones / Brown-Calilli-Sansone)
And when I see the sign that points one way
The lot we used to pass by every day
Just walk away Renee
You won't see me follow you back home
The empty sidewalks on my block are not the same
You're not to blame
From deep inside the tears that I'm forced to cry
From deep inside the pain that I chose to hide
Just walk away Renee

(Written by Rogers-Hart, some ad lib by RLJ)

My funny valentine,
Sweet comic valentine,
You make me smile with my heart.
Your looks are laughable, they're un-photographable,
But still, still you're my favorite work of art.

Is your figure less than Greek?
Is your mouth a little weak?
When you open it to speak, baby, are you smart?
Please, don't change a hair for me

(Written by Rickie Lee Jones)

I would call him, Hey Bub
He had a little place he kept for me
And he would tell me - (poof)
Boy, we were so in love
He moved us to a home there
A place where he'd take care of me
And I'd always know where he'd be

I don't know, it happened so fast
And sometimes all I see is lonely
Oh lonely

He's gone and I don't like to hear anymore

(Written by Resnick-Young)

When the sun beats down, and melts the tar upon the roof
And your shoes get so hot, you wish your tired feet were fire-proof
Under the boardwalk, down by the sea
On a blanket with my baby, that`s where I`ll be

From the park you`ll hear the happy sounds of a carousel
You can almost taste those hot dogs and french fries they sell

(Written by Tom Waits)

You used to dream yourself away each night
To places that you'd never been
On wings made of wishes
That you whispered to yourself
Back when every night the moon and you
Would sweep away to places
That you knew
Where you would never get the blues

Well now, whiskey gives you wings
To carry
Each one of your dreams
And the moon does not belong to you

Written by Barnes)

Something cool
I'd like to order something cool
It's so warm here in town
And this heat gets me down
And I'd like something cool
My, it's nice

Just to sit down and rest awhile
Hey, you know it's a shame
But I can't think of your name
But I remember your smile
Well, I don't ordinarily drink
With strangers
I guess I usually just, just drink alone

(Written by Larsen-Hall)

You'll always find what you're after, baby
You'll find the sun and laughter
So Long
My Darling
So Long

You're alone
Can't seem to find you anywhere
But I know you're better there
So Long
My Darling
So Long

I lie awake
Thinking about you endlessly
I will wait
Under the stars
That silence me

Walk Away Renee

--Brown/Calilli/Sansone

And when I see the sign that points "One Way "

A lot I used to pass by every day

Just walk away Renee

You won't see me follow you back home

The empty sidewalks on my block are not the same

You're not to blame

Your name and mine inside a heart upon a wall

Still find a way to haunt me, though they're so small
