| Once a label is on something
|
| It becomes an it
|
| Like it’s no longer alive
|
| It’s like a loss of vision
|
| Or some dark impression
|
| Or a black spot on your eye
|
| If it’s up to you
|
| My little sweet baboo
|
| Through the shouting and the fever
|
| Think of life as queer
|
| Think of it my dear
|
| As some knobs or a fancy tone
|
| From here there is no reason
|
| Baby’s got it made
|
| But it’s not what the life’s about
|
| What is imagination?
|
| May become a fact
|
| If we think of it that way
|
| If you want to know
|
| I can tell you now
|
| Or if you make it through somehow
|
| Or is it best to keep or fall to sleep
|
| It isn’t looking very good to me from here
|
| Hey
|
| He’s distressed
|
| And I forget
|
| I don’t wanna know 'cause I forget
|
| He’s distressed
|
| And I forget
|
| I don’t wanna know 'cause I forget
|
| He’s distressed
|
| And I forget
|
| I don’t wanna know 'cause I forget
|
| He’s distressed
|
| And I forget
|
| I don’t wanna know 'cause I forget
|
| I don’t wanna know, I don’t wanna know

| What do New York couples fight about
|
| Brother’s gonna work it out
|
| (Baby's got the bed sheet)
|
| How do
|
| (That was under you)
|
| New York
|
| (When your time and and the life expires)
|
| Couples Fight it out
|
| What these couples fight about
|
| (Keeps it in the closet)
|
| What do
|
| (Keeps it to herself)
|
| New york
|
| (She should throw the damn thing out)
|
| Couples fight about
|
| But their gonna work it out
|
| (Why should you continue)
|
| How do
|
| (To shake it off)
|
| New York
|
| (Would you write things on the wall)
|
| Couples fight it out
|
| What these couples fight about
|
| You could make it hard, to be
|
| In the shouting you will see
|
| Or is it best to change the world you’re keeping
|
| Down again
|
| Hey
|
| He’s distressed
|
| And I forget
|
| I don’t wanna know 'cause I forget
|
| He’s distressed
|
| And I forget
|
| I don’t wanna know 'cause I forget
|

|
| And I forget
|
| I don’t wanna know 'cause I forget
|
| He’s distressed
|
| And I forget
|
| I don’t wanna know, I don’t wanna know…
|
| Such is the sound of sorry
|
| Without the shy report
|
| Or the grips that could hold you down
|
| (Just when things were looking up
|
| You act just like a horses butt)
|
| Everything was simple
|
| But the body’s worn
|
| Got the life spread on the ground
|
| (Powder pink and general
|
| The kitchen sink, a funeral)
|
| Every loving other
|
| Don’t you fade on me
|
| Like a bomb that’s about to blow
|
| (Often we will overlook
|
| The things that make it undercooked)
|
| We can make it hard
|
| Or we can take the world apart
|
| Or you’d never be that sure?
|
| Of the simple thing that makes you want to cry again
|
| Hey
|
| He’s distressed
|
| And I forget
