Title
- (Verlaine)
- What I want
- I want now
- and it's a whole lot more
- than 'anyhow'
- I want to fly
- fly a fountain
- I want to jumpjumpjump
- jump a mountain
- lunderstandall... iseeno...
- destructiveurges... iseeno...
- itseemssoperfect... iseenoo...
- i see... i see no... i see no evil
- I get ideas
- I get a notion
- I want a nice little boat
- made out of ocean.
- I get your point.
- You're so sharp.
- Getting good reactions
- with your ''BeBo'' talk.
- Don't say unconscious
- No don't say doom.
- If you got to say it
- let me leave this room
- Cuz what I want
- I want now
- and it's a whole lot more
- than 'anyhow.'
- I'm runnin wild with the one i love
- I see no evil
- I'm runnin wild with the one-eyed ones
- I see no evil
- Pull down the future with the one you love
- Pull down the future
- (Verlaine)
- I knew it musta been some big set-up.
- All the Action just would not let up.
- It's just a little bit back from the main road
- where the silence spreads and the men dig holes.
- I start to spin the tale
- you complain of my diction
- You Give Me Friction
- But I Dig Friction
- You Know I'm Crazy About Friction
- My eyes are like telescopes
- I see it all backwards: but who wants hope?
- If I ever catch that ventriloquist
- I'll squeeze his head right into my fist.
- something comes tracking down,
- What's the prediction?
- I'll betcha it's Friction...
- Stop this head motion... set the sails.
- You know all us boys gonna wind up in jail.
- I don't wanna grow up
- there's too much contradiction
- (Verlaine)
- I remember
- how the darkness doubled
- I recall
- lightning struck itself.
- I was listening
- listening to the rain
- I was hearing
- hearing something else.
- Life in the hive puckered up my night,
- the kiss of death, the embrace of life.
- There I stand neath the Marquee Moon Just waiting,
- Hesitating...
- I ain't waiting
- I spoke to a man
- down at the tracks.
- I asked him
- how he don't go mad.
- He said "Look here junior, don't you be so happy.
- And for Heaven's sake, don't you be so sad."
- Well a Cadillac
- it pulled out of the graveyard.
- Pulled up to me
- all they said get in.
- Then the Cadillac
- it puttered back into the graveyard.
- And me,
- I got out again.
- (Verlaine)
- The last word
- is the lost word
- Why don't you say so
- I sleep light
- on these shores tonite
- I live light on these shores
- Elevation... don't go to my head
- Now you give me no trouble
- and you give me no help
- It is the clown
- that works so well
- I sleep light on these shores tonite.
- I live light on these shores.
- Elevation don't go to my head
- Our lips are sealed our breath is burning
- These cold wild seas have left us turning
- But I sleep light on these shores tonite
- I live light on these shores
- (Lloyd & Verlaine)
- Do I, Do I?
- belong to the night?
- Only only
- Only tonight.
- All the ladies
- Stay inside.
- Time may freeze,
- A world could cry.
- All this night running loud
- I hear the whispers I hear the shouts.
- And tho they never cry for help...
- Tell me who sends these
- infamous gifts.
- To make such a promise
- and make such a slip.
- Oh no
- Can't pull a trick
- Never the rose
- Without the prick
- But tell me how do I say?
- I woke up and it was yesterday.
- Do I again face this night?
- Guiding Light. Guiding Light
- Guiding thru these nights.
- Darling Darling
- Do we part like the seas? The roaring shell...
- The drifting of the leaves...
- All intent
- Remains unknown.
- It's time to sit up
- Up on the throne.
- It's seen before but it's always new.
- So look close and see who's come thru.
- Never again to face this night
- Guiding Light, Guiding Light
- Guiding thru these nights.
- (Verlaine)
- The docks
- the clocks
- a whisper woke him up
- the smell of water
- would resume.
- the cave
- the waves
- of light the unreal night.
- that flat curving
- of a room.
- Prove it... just the facts... the confidential
- This case, this case, this case that i...
- i've been workin' on so long...
- first you creep
- then you leap
- up about a hundred feet
- yet you're in so deep
- you could write the Book.
- Chirpchirp
- the birds
- they're giving you the words
- The world is just a feeling
- you undertook.
- Remember?
- Now the rose
- it slows
- you in such colorless clothes
- Fantastic! You lose your sense of human.
- Project
- Protect
- It's warm and it's calm and it's perfect
- It's too "too too"
- to put a finger on
- This case is closed.
- (Verlaine)
- Torn Curtain reveals another play.
- Torn Curtain, Such an expose!
- I'm uncertain when beauty meets abuse.
- Torn Curtain loves all ridicule.
- Tears... tears rolling back the years
- Years... Flowing by like tears.
- Tears holding back the years.
- Years. The tears I never shed.
- The years I've seen before
- Torn Curtain giving me the glance.
- Torn Curtain bringing on the trance.
- I'm not hurting: Holding to the thread.
- Torn Curtain lifts me on the tread.
- Torn Curtain feels more like a rake.
- Torn Curtain - how much does it Take?
- Burn it down
- Tears, tears. Years, years.
