I die when you walk by
So beautiful and strong Each day you pass my way In your bubble where nothing goes wrong You think your youth A perminent truth But here is a tear for your eye: Having forgotten how to cry I die. |

So you quote love unquote me
Well, stranger things have come to be But let's agree to disagree Cause I don't believe you I don't believe you You tell me I'm not not cute Its truth or falsity is moot Cause honesty's not your strong suit And I don't believe you I don't believe you You tell me of what once was And all about Buck, Butch, and Buzz How they were not like me because... But I don't believe you I don't believe you I had a dream and you were in it The blue of your eyes was infinite You seemed to be In love with me Which isn't very realistic You may sing me "They Were You" And I start crying halfway through But nothing else you say is true So I don't believe you I don't believe you You may set your charm on stun And say I'm delightful and fun But you say that to everyone Well, I don't believe you I don't believe you So you're brilliant gorgeous and Ampersand after ampersand You think I just don't understand But I don't believe you I don't believe you I don't believe you I don't believe you |

True, I'd give my right arm
To keep you safe from harm And true, for you, I'd move to Ecuador And I'd keep a little farm Chop wood to keep you warm But I don't really love you anymore I don't have to love you now if I don't wish to I won't see you anyhow if that's an issue Because I am a gentleman Think of me as just your fan Who remembers every dress you ever wore. Just the bad comedian Your new boyfriend's better than 'Cos I don't really love you anymore. There'll be someday when your eyes do not enthrall me, I'll be numb but realize you'll never call me. 'Cos I've read your horoscope And now I've given up all hope So I don't really love you anymore 'Cos I've read your horoscope And now I've given up all hope So I don't really love you anymore. |

I wandered in these big blue shoes
Till we had nothin' left to lose Nobody wants you when you're a circus clown I should know, I looked all over town I guess folks just don't like my face They make out like I'm some disgrace But nothin's gonna change this painted frown I know, know, I looked all over town Maybe somewhere I could be free Somewhere they won't throw rocks at me Somewhere this crazy hair could be my crown But all my life, I've looked all over town So whistling this circus tune I inflated one more balloon And as I floated up, I looked straight down And I looked all over town One last time, I looked all over town |

I was born, I hate this part
Being someone new Being torn Seeing someone who died, as you grew Growing older is killing a child Who laughed and smiled at anything Growing colder and less and less wild And learning to say I was young, then not so young Scary either way One more rung Down that black ladder every day One more floor down the elevator To oblivion, what fun But the singularly awful one Is being born |

I wish, I had an evil twin
Running 'round doing people in I wish I had a very bad And evil twin to do my will To cull and conquer, cut and kill Just like I would If I weren't good And if I knew where to begin Down and down we go How low no one would know Sometimes the good life wears thin I wish I had an evil twin My evil twin would lie and steal And he would stink of sex appeal All men would writhe, beneath his scythe He'd send the pretty ones to me And they would think that I was he I'd hurt them and I'd go scot free I'd get no blame and feel no shame 'Cause evil's not my cup of tea Down and down we go How low one would not need to know All my life there should have been An evil twin |

Now the clock is striking one
So we might as well begin it, As there's dancing to be done And our time is not infinite. If there's such a thing as love, If there's such a thing as love, I'm in it. So you claim you love me too, Lloyd's of London guarantee it. Gaze into these eyes of blue, You do love me I decree it. If there's such a thing as love, If there's such a thing as love, Give me it. When i was two and a half, My momma said to me: "Love is funny you will laugh 'Til the day you turn three." Like a kitten up a tree Needs a fireman to rescue it, So your fireman i will be And i'll really get into it. If there's such a thing as love, (such a thing as love) If there's such a thing as love, Let's do it. I thought i'd known love before That was not it but I thought it So I thought i'd win the war Or I never would have fought it If there's such a thing as love, (such a thing as love) If there's such a thing as love, I've caught it. if there's such a thing as love, (such a thing as love) if there's such a thing as love, I've caught it. If there's such a thing as love, (such a thing as love) If there's such a thing as love, Love caught it. |

Sing me the kind of song you hear in an operetta
In an operetta Sing me the words I long to hear out of Violetta In an operetta She will fast be outcast from her castle with nary a friend But since she's a princess, there's hints of a prince in the end She'll enjoy some employ as a boy with her name changed to Pip Soon by gum she'll become the brave captain of some pirate ship Singing a thing fit for a King in an operetta In an operetta It's the all singing all dancing, Princess Violetta of the operetta In an operetta, within an operetta |

It was infinitely late at night
The stars are still out there But they're all out of light Don't worry about me, I'll be alright It's just infinitely late at night It's still getting later And later and later I feel like I'm in a falling elevator I call for a drink But I can't find the waiter I really believe he's gone home Oh God! I wish I could go home But it's infinitely late at night Is this a blackout Or am I losing my sight? It should have been noon now The sun should be bright But it's infinitely The hour on the bar clock It isn't finite It's all black and white Without the white It's just infinitely late at night |

Irma waits by the window
Vaguely looking down at her socks And humming, possibly her Father will come home with a box Of chocolates, possibly Not father's memory Was never what it once was Shouldn't really drive anymore Either as if in answer With a sound like blowing up your Ears, father's jeep crashes Through Irma's wall she says Bad words as several hundred Boxes of her favorite kind Of chocolate fill her bedroom But she doesn't actually mind |

Feels like December but it's May
I've gone as pale as Doris Day The blue sky's torn assunder by clouds that warn of thunder Is this what they used to call love? Your face surrounds me everywhere like a kaleidoscope's nightmare This outpouring of emotion is boring as an ocean Is this what they used to call love? Well it musn't be the chicken pox I've never met a chicken but whenever I get near you dear my heart starts to sicken In the 9th circle of this hell my heart is burning and unwell what demons like within it I'll die in one more minute Is this what they used to call love? Is this what they used to call love? |

Why would I stop loving you
a hundred years from now? It's only time. It's only time. What could stop this beating heart once it's made a vow? It's only time. It's only time. If rain won't change your mind, let it fall. The rain won't change my heart at all. Lock this chain around my hand, throw away the key. It's only time. It's only time. Years falling like grains of sand mean nothing to me. It's only time. It's only time. If snow won't change your mind let it fall. The snow won't change my heart, not at all. (I'll walk your lands) I'll walk your lands (And swim your sea) And swim your sea Marry me. Marry me. (Then in your hands) Then in your hands (I will be free) I will be free Marry me. Marry me. Why would I stop loving you a hundred years from now? |
