| The last time I saw Richard was Detroit in '68
|
| And he told me, «All romantics meet the same fate someday
|
| Cynical and drunk and boring someone in some dark café
|
| «You laugh,» he said, «you think you’re immune
|
| Go look at your eyes, they’re full of moon
|
| You like roses and kisses and pretty men to tell you
|
| All those pretty lies, pretty lies
|
| When you gonna realize they’re only pretty lies?
|
| Only pretty lies, just pretty lies»
|
| He put a quarter in the Wurlitzer
|
| And he pushed three buttons and the thing began to whirr
|
| And a bar maid came by in fishnet stockings and a bow tie
|
| And she said «Drink up now, it’s gettin' on time to close.»
|
| «Richard, you haven’t really changed,» I said, it’s just that
|
| Now you’re romanticizing some pain that’s in your head
|
| You got tombs in your eyes, but the songs you punched are dreamy
|
| Listen, they sing of love so sweet, love so sweet
|
| When you gonna get yourself back on your feet?
|
| Oh and love can be so sweet, love so sweet
|
| Richard got married to a figure skater
|
| And he bought her a dishwasher and a coffee percolator
|
| And he drinks at home now most nights with the TV on
|
| And all the house lights left up bright
|
| I’m gonna blow this damn candle out
|
| I don’t want nobody comin' over to my table
|
| I got nothing to talk to anybody about
|
| All good dreamers pass this way someday
|
| Hidin' behind bottles in dark cafés
|
| Dark cafés, only a dark cocoon
|
| Before I get my gorgeous wings and fly away
|
| Only a phase, these dark café days |
