A pretty girl is like a violent crime
If you do it wrong you could do time
but if you do it right it is sublime
[a pretty girl is like]
Don't hold me
too tightly
Don't whisper my name
sad-eyed baby
I'm not that kind of girl
[sunset city]
I saw you standing at the airport
with your chihuahua in your hand
crying on the moving sidewalk
on your way to Disneyland
[the flowers she sent and the flowers she said she sent]
I've enjoyed making you
miserable for years
found peace of mind in
playing on your fears
How I loved to catch your gold
and silver tears, but now my dear
What a dark and dreary life
Are you reaching for a knife?
Could you really kill your wife?
--Yeah! Oh, yeah!
[yeah! oh, yeah!]
It's only fair to tell you
I'm absolutely cuckoo
[absolutely cuckoo]
You can't open your mouth
without telling a lie
but baby, you know how to say goodbye
[how to say goodbye]
But I can feel my courage crumble
and my heart just turns to ice
when I see myself reflected
in your torn green velvet eyes
[torn green velvet eyes]
Meaningless?
You mean it's all been meaningless?
Every whisper and caress?
Yes yes yes it was totally meaningless
[meaningless]
I read your manifestos
and your strange religious tracts
you took me to your library
and kissed me in the stacks
[swinging london]
Eligible, not too stupid,
intelligible and cute as Cupid
knowledgeable, but not always right
salvageable and free for the night
[a chicken with its head cut off]
He is my lord, He is my saviour
and He rewards my good behaviour
My secret soul, I know He's seen it
He says, come here baby and
kiss me like you mean it
[kiss me like you mean it]
you were just like me
you were one big bruise
in the game of life we were playing to lose
you were Jesse James
I was William Tell
you were Daniel Webster I was the devil himself
two characters in search of a country song
[two characters in search of a country song]
I used to remember you smiling and waving
I don't think I can anymore
[crowd of drifters]
our hair in the air,
our lips blue from cotton candy
when we kiss it feels
like a flying saucer landing
[strange powers]
you get to love driving at night
the moon is so close you can kiss it
[crowd of drifters]
but as the days go by
in the gray world outside
[in my secret place]
Sometimes the sun is too bright
and it burns you like acid
[crowd of drifters]
Love can kill people can't it
Well it still may kill me
Each drop of rain
is a glass of champagne
It's sweet and it's free
When I drink I don't panic
When I drink I don't die
When I'm far gone
It's all just a song
just beautiful lies...
[my sentimental melody]
The sweetest thing I ever saw
was you asleep and dreaming
[asleep and dreaming]
I'm so rich and you're so bored
are you the trouble I've been looking for
[the trouble I've been looking for]
I long to nibble at your ears
and do as bunnies do
Let's pretend we're bunny rabbits
Let's do it all day long
[Let's pretend we're bunny rabbits]
A pretty boy in his underwear
A pretty boy in his underwear
If there's a better reason
to jump for joy
who cares...
[underwear]
Love is like a bottle of gin
but a bottle of gin is not like love
[love is like a bottle of gin]
