Why do you talk, why do you waste time
saying the same old thing, it should be a crime You never listen, instead you stammer As though you're interesting, and full of glamour as though you're interesting, and full of glamour Why do you talk so much, why don't you shut up you have nothing to say, you lack Drama It's the same old thing, you'd like to know why Who made the earth move, who made the sky high who made the earth move, who made the sky high Who made your blood red, who made you think thoughts who made you breathe a breath, tell me why do you talk Oh, tell me why do you talk, tell me why do you talk tell me why do you talk Why do you always talk, why do you make sound Why don't you listen, why do you talk so much why don't you listen, why do you talk so much Why don't you shut up, why don't you shut up why don't you shut up, why do you talk so much |

Caught between the twisted stars
the plotted lines the faulty map that brought Columbus to New York Betwixt between the East and West he calls on her wearing a leather vest the earth squeals and shudders to a halt A diamond crucifix in his ear is used to help ward off the fear that he has left his soul in someone's rented car Inside his pants he hides a mop to clean the mess that he has dropped into the life of lithesome Juliette Bell And Romeo wanted Juliette and Juliette wanted Romeo And Romeo wanted Juliette and Juliette wanted Romeo Romeo Rodriguez squares his shoulders and curses Jesus runs a comb through his black pony-tail He's thinking of his lonely room the sink that by his bed gives off a stink then smells her perfume in his eyes And her voice was like a bell Outside the street were steaming the crack dealers were dreaming of an Uzi someone had just scored I betcha I could hit that light with my one good arm behind my back says little Joey Diaz Brother give me another tote those downtown hoods are no damn good those Italians need a lesson to be taught This cop who died in Harlem you think they'd get the warnin' I was dancing when his brains run out on the street And Romeo had Juliette and Juliette had her Romeo And Romeo had Juliette and Juliette had her Romeo I'll take Manhattan in a garbage bag with Latin written on it that says "it's hard to give a shit these days" Manhattan's sinking like a rock into the filthy Hudson what a shock they wrote a book about it they said it was like ancient Rome The perfume burned his eyes holding tightly to her thighs And something flickered for a minute and then it vanished and was gone |

They call you ecstasy nothing ever sticks to you Not velcro, not scotch tape not my arms dipped in glue Not if I wrap myself in nylon a piece of duct tape down my back Love pierced the arrow with the twelve and I can't get you back Ah, ecstasy ecstasy Ah, ecstasy Across the streets an old Ford, they took off its wheels the engine is gone In its seat sits a box with a note that says, Goodbye Charlie, thanks a lot I see a child through a window with a bib and I think of us and what we almost did The Hudson rocketing with light the ships pass the Statue of Liberty at night They call it ecstasy, ah ecstasy Ecstasy, ah ecstasy Some men call me St. Ivory some call me St. Maurice I'm smooth as alabaster with white veins runnin' through my cheeks A big stud through my eyebrow a scar on my arm that says, Domain I put it over the tattoo that contained your name They called you ecstasy, ecstasy ecstasy They call you ecstasy, ecstasy ecstasy The moon passing through a cloud a body facing up is floating towards a crowd And I think of a time and what I couldn't do I couldn't hold you close, I couldn't, I couldn't become you They call you ecstasy, I can't hold you down I can't hold you up I feel like that car that I saw today, no radio no engine, no hood I'm going to the cafe, I hope they've got music and I hope that they can play But if we have to part I'll have a new scar right over my heart I'll call it ecstasy Oh, ecstasy, ecstasy ecstasy Ecstasy, ecstasy ecstasy |

They tied his arms behind his back, to teach him how to swim
They put blood in his coffee and milk in his gin They stood over the soldier, in the midst of the squalor There was war in his body and it caused his brain to holler Make the sacrifice, mutilate my face If you need someone to kill I'm a man without a will Wash the razor in the rain, let me luxuriate in pain Please don't set me free Death means a lot to me The pain was lean and it made him scream He knew he was alive He put a pin through the nipples on his chest He thought he was a saint I've made love to my mother, killed my father and brother What am I to do When a sin goes too far, it's like a runaway car And cannot be controlled Spit upon his face and scream: There is no Oedipus today This is no play you're thinking you are in What will you say Take the blue mask down from my face And look me in the eye I get a thrill from punishment, I've always been that way I loathe and despise repentance You are permanently stained Your weakness and indifference and indiscretion in the streets Dirty's what you are and clean is what you're not You deserve to be soundly beat Make the sacrifice, take it all the way There is no ' won't ' high enough To stop this desperate day Don't take death away, cut the finger at the joint Cut the stallion at his mount And stuff it in his mouth |
