I went to your house
I walked up the stairs
I opened your door without ringing the bell
I walked down the hall
Into your room
Where I could smell you, and
I shouldn’t be here
without permission
I shouldn’t be here
Would you forgive me love
If I danced in your shower
Would you forgive me love
If I laid in your bed
Would you forgive me love
If I stayed all afternoon
I took off my clothes
Put on your robe
I went through your drawers, and
I found your cologne
Went down to the den
Found your CDs, and
I played your JOANIE and
I shouldn’t stay long
You might be home soon
I shouldnt stay long
Would you forgive me love
If I danced in your shower
Would you forgive me love
If I laid in your bed
Would you forgive me love
If I stayed all afternoon
I burned your incense, and
I ran a bath
I noticed a letter
That sat on your desk
It said
“Hello love, I love you so,love
Meet me at midnight”,and no
It wasn’t my writing
I better go soon
It wasn’t my writting
So forgive me love
If I cry in your shower
So forgive me love
For the salt in your bed
So forgive me love
If I cry all afternoon
Looking out across the night-time
The city winks a sleepless eye
Hear her voice shake my window
Sweet seducing sighs
Get me out into the night-time
Four walls won’t hold me tonight
If this town is just an apple
Then let me take a bite
If they say, why, why? Tell ‘em that is human nature
Why, why does he do me that way?
If they say, why, why? Tell ‘em that is human nature
Why, why does he do me that way?
Reaching out to touch a stranger
Electric eyes are everywhere
See that girl, she knows I’m watching
She likes the way I stare
If they say, why, why? Tell ‘em that is human nature
Why, why does he do me that way?
If they say, why, why? Tell ‘em that is human nature
Why, why does he do me that way?
I like livin’ this way, I like lovin’ this way
Looking out across the morning
The city’s heart begins to beat
Reaching out, I touch her shoulder
I’m dreaming of the street
If they say, why, why? Tell ‘em that is human nature
Why, why does he do me that way?
If they say, why, why? Ooh, tell ‘em
Why, why does he do me that way?
If they say, why, why? Cha cha cha
Why, why does he do me that way?
If they say why, why, why? Ooh, tell ‘em
Why, why does he do me that way?
If they say, why, why? Ooh, tell ‘em
Why, why does he do me that way?
If they say, why, why? Da da da
Why, why does he do me that way?
I like livin’ this way
Why didn’t I hear of this song while he was still alive?
All or nothin’ at all
Half a love never appealed to me
If your heart, it never could yield to me
Then I’d rather, rather have nothin’ at all
I said all, nothin’ at all
If it’s love, there ain’t no in-between
Why begin then cry for somethin’ that might have been
No I’d rather, rather have nothin’ at all
Hey, please don’t bring your lips close to my cheek
Don’t you smile or I’ll be lost beyond recall
The kiss in your eyes, the touch of your hand makes me weak
And my heart, it may grow very dizzy and fall
And if I fell under the spell of your call
I would be, be caught in the undertow
Well, you see, I’ve got to say “No, no, no”
All or nothin’ at all
And if I fell, fell under the spell of your call
Don’t you know I would be caught in the undertow?
So, you see, I just got to say “No, no”
All or nothin’ at all
All or nothin’ at all
I’m coming up only to hold you under
I’m coming up only to show you wrong
And to know you is hard and we wonder
To know you all wrong, we were
Really too late to call, so we wait for
Morning to wake you; it’s all we got
To know me as hardly golden
Is to know me all wrong, they were
At every occasion I’ll be ready for a funeral
At every occasion once more is called a funeral
Every occasion I’m ready for the funeral
At every occasion one brilliant day funeral
I’m coming up only to show you down for
I’m coming up only to show you wrong
To the outside, the dead leaves, they all blow (alive is very poetic)
For’e (before) they died had trees to hang their hope
At every occasion I’ll be ready for the funeral
At every occasion once more is called the funeral
At every occasion I’m ready for the funeral
At every occasion one brilliant day funeral
What did you mean
‘there’s too many angels here’
is it the sweet ones that keep you here
or did you mean that everyone you love
is already gone, too early
whatever you mean
I came to mine and realized
that it’s all fake
but I love to dream
and to feel everything
come up, come up
it’s so hard to love when you know how it goes
come up, come up
waves of pleasure waves of control
and the waves run their course
turn into foam
they start with a roar and then it’s back home
come up
it’s at the shows
I feel so alive
and otherwise
there’s a craving so bright
well my friend with not many words
but it’s just as well cause what are they for
you see through me you make me quiet
you know all the words so why should I hide it
when love starts up
you can’t escape
you run and you hide
duck under the waves
come up, come up
and when you do it’s there to greet you
come up, come up
water and sand and fish all around you
come up
You were born with a heart that can never be filled
And a head like snow that can never be still
There are streets paved in gold that shine so bright
That you force yourself to look away
If we can’t see now, we might never see
We only kill ourselves more slowly
If you can’t find love, then you will finally see
How we kill ourselves slowly
The words that fall from your mouth
They crystalize and break on the ground
And everything you want, you can’t have
But you force yourself to look away
If we can’t see now
We might never see
We only kill ourselves more slowly
If you can’t find love, then you will finally see
How we kill ourselves more slowly
If you can’t find me then you can’t find love
If you close your eyes then will finally see
That you’re already here with me
Maybe, maybe it’s the clothes we wear,
The tasteless bracelets and the dye in our hair,
Maybe it’s our kookiness,
Or maybe, maybe it’s our nowhere towns,
Our nothing places and our cellophane sounds,
Maybe it’s our looseness,
But we’re trash, you and me,
We’re the litter on the breeze,
We’re the lovers on the streets,
Just trash, me and you,
It’s in everything we do,
It’s in everything we do…
Maybe, maybe it’s the things we say,
The words we’ve heard and the music we play,
Maybe it’s our cheapness,
Or maybe, maybe it’s the times we’ve had,
The lazy days and the crazes and the fads,
Maybe it’s our sweetness,
But we’re trash, you and me,
We’re the litter on the breeze,
We’re the lovers on the street,
Just trash, me and you,
It’s in everything we do,
It’s in everything we do…
I have your good clothes in the car
So cut your hair so no one knows
I have your dreams and your teeth marks
And all my fingernails are painted
I’m here to take you now
You were right about the end
It didn’t make a difference
Everything I can remember
I remember wrong
How can anybody know
How they got to be this way
You must have known I’d do this someday
Break my arms around the one I love
And be forgiven by the time my lover comes
Break my arms around my love
Break my arms around the one I love
And be forgiven by the time my lover comes
Break my arms around my love
I don’t have any questions
I don’t think it’s gonna rain
You were right about the end
It didn’t make a difference
I’m here to take you now
Out among the missing sons and daughters of the SoHo riots
Out among the missing sons and daughters of the SoHo riots
I’m here to take you now
How can anybody know
how they got to be this way
You must have known I’d do this someday
Break my arms around the one I love
And be forgiven by the time my lover comes
Break my arms around my love
Break my arms around the one I love
And be forgiven by the time my lover comes
Break my arms around my love
Break my arms around the one I love
You’re in my mind all of the time
I know that’s not enough
If the sky can crack, there must be some way back
For love and only love
Can I sing a song for you?
Or maybe do a trick or two?
Would you be afraid?
Stay a while, you make me smile
Don’t leave me here without someone
Would you be afraid?
Take out the fabled angst machine, and let me in
Under the circumstances man, I’m not so keen
Can I sing a song for you?
Or maybe do a trick or two?
Would you be the same?
Stay a while, you make me smile
Don’t leave me here without someone
Would you be the same?
