Flame into Being |
Now the weight of the books has crushed my delicate fingers |
I’m not trying to be Paganini any more |
All I dream about these days is sex with strangers |
Rats in spats and bowler hats on the dance floor |
Some days my head is the turret for a machine gun |
And the world is torn apart by a hail of words |
In tongues of fire the rookie priest reads the lesson |
And I would like to «e him chapter and verse |
He said «I'm in love with everyone who knows it’s hard |
To build a way of seeing |
Who knows that nevertheless that’s the only way |
To flame into being» |
I was always the sucker that got led into temptation |
When I didn’t have a job, couldn’t pay the bills |
But stretch me out on your tasteless warehouse sofa |
And there or somewhere else I’ll do your will |
Maybe I’ll come out clubbing on a rainy night in Soho |
So many clichés have sentimental truth, don’t you find? |
You be Judith and I’ll be Holofernes |
Living with a beautiful woman |
I’m jealous all the time |
And I’m in love with everyone who knows it’s hard |
To build a way of seeing |
Who knows that nevertheless that’s the only way |
To flame into being |
So take me to the people who’ll gratify my ego |
Because under the swagger I don’t know who I am |
Caesar beware the ides of adolescence |
Here comes some new Brutus in black 501s, ha! |
From the pores of his skin you can smell the cappuchino |
And his avaricious eyes are shining like the sun |
Black bat night come down from your roost now |
And cover me with your wings |
Under my eyes I shall wear your engagement ring |
And I’m in love with everyone who knows it’s hard |
To build a way of seeing |
Who knows that nevertheless that’s the only way |
To flame into being |
But as soon as I decide that this is not the place for me to stay |
I feel currents that buoy me up and bear me away |
And burglars or writers will carry this love away too |
Don’t regret this, just forget me, let me release you |
And as soon as I decide I’m more fertile or just more sober |
Maybe I’ll think of you like a touching American film |
How I left you washing the face of our baby |
How whenever I live alone |
My hands and eyes work again |
And I’m in love with everyone who knows it’s hard |
To build a way of seeing |
Who knows that nevertheless that’s the only way |
To flame into being |
Yeah, I’m in love with everyone who knows it’s hard |
To build a way of seeing |
Who knows that nevertheless that’s the only way |
To flame into being |
