Playboys, Punks, And Pretty Things |
«A penny for your thoughts,"he says as he swiftly slips from bed to bed |
And the thoughtful ones are charmed by him and the sexy ones turned on by him |
And he’s knighted by casanova’s kin and his ladies would never turn on him |
'Cause he’s the Cary Grant of the party kings and the playboy of your wildest |
dreams |
Wouldn’t you like to be a sweetheart? |
Haven’t you dreamed of being an upstart? |
Owning the heart of every beauty queen the envy of every ladies' man-machine |
Making regular stops at meat market spots lifting skirts and molesting tarts |
Buying bottles and blow and whiskey shots for any femme fatale who’s got an |
urge to fuck |
Sometimes he’s not alone he’s got a family and home does he rent or does he own? |
Is he the villain in your tome? |
Has he forgotten his way? |
Has he a mind to leave the fray? |
Are you so naive and vague? |
Does it matter anyway? |
By afternoon it’s dead they’ve all gone down and off to bed |
And in his hands a fifth of gin, a fine young thing, |
Some methedrine disgusted, drunk and all washed up |
And still nursing a stinking cup he shades his eyes from a cloudless sky |
And punks it up, it’s party time again |
Combat boots are all laced up Prada shoes with argyle socks |
Seductive stares and massed up hair ripped and torn and now laid bare |
I’ll take you to my little room I’ll play you «Fly Me to the Moon» |
Relax, I’m clean and blind and free you won’t gain anything from me |
Come take comfort from the storm befriend the ones you scorned |
I’ll be your savior and your saint I’ll be what all the others ain’t |
It’s not as bad as it all seems what if this were all a dream? |
Do you have to be so plain? |
Does it matter anyway? |
