I bought your record in NYC Discorama down on Union Square I must have played it a million times over I'd close my eyes imagine you were there you know I really dig the clothes you wear I only wish you could be my baby I want to read about it do you think we could have an affair
Maybe your heart is made of stone maybe I'm just too blind to see maybe your heart is made of stone maybe I'm just too blind too see
Two weeks in ElectricLady Land two weeks and that's all for me I could be lucky and get off lightly with a broken nose and the third degree she said I really dig Disco music and if you want to be my baby we'd better talk about it maybe then we could have an affair
Maybe your heart is made of stone maybe I'm just too blind to see maybe your heart is made of stone maybe I'm just too blind too see
I want to drive east coast to west coast turn up my radio set myself free don't want to talk about it you and me should have an affair
Maybe your heart is made of stone maybe I'm just too blind to see maybe your heart is made of stone maybe I'm just too blind to see
That's what you've got to do, when it's all over That's what you've got to do, when it's all over That's what you've got to do, when it's all over That's what you've got to do, when it's all over Greetings from the gutter I've been here since yesterday Sweet dreams in the gutter All the skeletons come out to play At times I feel so logical inside So just give me the keys And I'll drive myself back home That's what you've got to do, when it's all over That's what you've got to do, when it's all over That's what you've got to do, when it's all over That's what you've got to do, when it's all over I stand in the mirror counting the scars I let you see A little soft edged but bitter You're a star you don't talk to me That's what you've got to do, when it's all over That's what you've got to do, when it's all over That's what you've got to do, when it's all over That's what you've got to do, when it's all over
Driving me home in your car watching you drive Through obstacles and icicles, keeping my mind on its lead Keeping it warm, with chemicals and therapy Turn it on take me over crazy sister Digging a hole in your heart Watching you breathe, punishment and oxygen Letting my mind off its lead I watched it disappear, to somewhere dark and reassuring Turn it on (can you believe it) Take me over (it's psychomazingly true) Turn it on crazy sister And when I feel it (it's psychomazing it's you) Staying at home. Plugging it in Kissing the screen, being a god Staying at home, screwing it in Fucking the screen, being a god Turn it on (can you feel it) Crazy sister Turn it on (can you believe it) Crazy sister Turn it on, take me over Crazy sister Crazy sister
When he found her He stayed down there With his velvet pills And her purple hair In a room so dark They could barely crawl With orange posters On Victorian walls It was Saturday night And he felt like death She just wanted to be loved Like anybody else Saturday night And the clock never stopped She felt like a loser On top or the pops The Chelsea lovers With guillotine lips Mascara egos Doing a magazine strip Chelsea lovers In a vicious town With lipstick futures Like a couple of clowns Strange creatures In the eider down Teenage oblivion Waiting to be crowned Holes in the mattress Where these beasts have lain Awake until morning With ice in their veins Facing each other Their eyes never met He just wanted to be straight It never happened to him yet Both of them laughing But they can't understand What it is about friendship Makes you hold your own hand The Chelsea lovers Oh how they can talk With their tongues connected And their skin like chalk Chelsea lovers They're joined at the hip With the power of madness At their fingertips Chelsea lovers With their limbs entwined Making moon sized promises From their molecule minds Stardust lovers In a Ziggy cartoon Two solemn lovers In a Chelsea room.
The streets in search of anyone who'll take them home I lie alone, the clock strikes three And anyone who wanted to could contact me At dead of night, 'till break of day Endless thoughts and questions keep me awake It's much too late
Where've you been? Who've you seen? You didn't phone when you said you would! Do you lie? Do you try To keep in touch? You know you could I've tried to see your point of view But could not hear or see For jealousy
I never knew time passed so slow I wish I'd never met you, or that I could bear to let you go At dead of night, 'till break of day Endless thoughts and questions keep me awake It's much too late
Where've you been? Who've you seen? You didn't phone when you said you would! Do you lie? Do you try To keep in touch? You know you could I've tried to see your point of view But could not hear or see For jealousy Where've you been? Who've you seen? You didn't phone when you said you would! Do you lie? Do you try To keep in touch? You know you could I've tried to see your point of view But could not hear or see For jealousy

I fell down on it Valentine's day Dropped my flowers in the rain And got carried away The tide was coming in I could have been sad I could have been amused But I was just in pieces It was then that I knew The tide was coming in Aaahh this pattern on the back of my hand It makes a joke of me and the veins are like Rivers in sand running out to sea Nobody slept on the night of the crash We were all covered in devil grey ash The tide was coming in I could have been dead I could have been underground But somebody decided I should stick around The tide was coming in Aaahh I know I'm just killing time But time is killing me My eyes are witness to this crime and looking out to sea
Damien save me And be my guide Sooner or later We're all gonna die When we were walking Through the streets Everything you said was bittersweet And I wish that we could be in a Bottle of time just you and me Let's talk about the ways and means The body shape The love supreme And drink drink until we disappear Damien save me And be my god Sooner or later I'm gonna die like a dog Cut me in half And I'll let you see What this whole wide world Has done to me I'll be you sacrificial cow Just tell me when and I'll Show you how Let's talk about The sacrifice The body limbs That rest on ice and drink drink until We disappear I know you'll never let me down Down down down So let's take it and push it And kick it and break it And turn it all around. Damien save me And be my guy Sooner or later We're all gonna die When we were walking Through the streets Everything you said was bittersweet And I wish that we could be In a bottle of time Just you and me When we were walking through the streets ...walking through the streets ...walking through the streets.
You talk a lot You laugh a lot Yes you talk a lot You never stop No you never stop But you never talk about The way you feel The way we make each other feel You celebrate And cut a cake Yes you couldn't wait No you couldn't wait But you never thought about the way I'd feel The way you made somebody feel Do you believe in all you hear Your husband's sick Your sister's queer Your mouth is full of shaky teeth From dreams that make you disbelieve That all I've ever said and done was Wish you well and have some fun Have some fun
Oh no, not you again I paid you already Too much times ten Oh no, not you again I don't know how it started But this is the end There's a gap in your teeth The words fall through They spread a virus And they stick like glue There's a pain in my neck And a stone in my shoe There's a lump in my throat It was more than I could chew Oh no, not you again With your cheque book religion And your diet coke friends Oh no, not you again There's a hole in your foot You shot it yourself Pulled the silver trigger And damaged your health I've been dying from exposure Since I shook your hand I see California gave you more than a tan Oh no, not you again With your world in a bubble And your gossamer smile Oh no, not you again So nice to hear from you Once in a while You stuck a knife In my back And my blood ran cold I think you mistook Me for a bag of gold But there's justice in The valley and they Say it's divine I've heard all about Your problems Now here's some of mine.
