Your room is damp, your love's turning cold
Where is the meaning I thought we could hold
I can't believe what's happened to you
I stand back and watch, there's nothing I can do
Poetry, a delicious joke
All your flame going up in smoke
Just once more, just once again
If I ever get caught here, you'll know who to blame
In a heartbeat and a heartbeat's all that it takes
In a heartbeat see your heartbreak
I play some records but the words are too strange
I call you sometimes but your number's been changed
I will remember every smile and tear
But when I listen to you I don't want to hearwell she tossed all night like a raging sea
woke up and climbed from the suicide machine
with her spanish candles and her persian poems
stuck on the rocks inside opus 40 stoned
and scratching her wrists in the pouring rain
she collapses down upon the ocean floor again
tears in waves minds on fire
nights alone by your side
catskill mansions buried screams I'm alive
she cried but I don't know what it means
somewhere out there across the moonlit sands
there's a line drawn like the lines on her own hand
and slamming her eyes locking the door
she collapses down upon the ocean floor again
tears in waves minds on fire
nights alone by your side
tears in waves minds on fire
nights alone by your side
