Richard Wagner's letters to his lover Mathilde were a mess
He should have quit before he had written the address They made love on the mezzanine her husband was his friend Vienna in a fugue-state working on a thing That when he finished it took almost seven hours to sing He still found time to write to her his heart-exploding words Our love surpassed our love so fast Our love's all wrong our love goes on and on Our love became our love by name when I wrote it to you in a song Our love goes on and on Our love our love Kafka in his letters to his lover Milena was alive But he was waiting for a love that never would arrive Their rendezvous was singular her husband was his friend She is a living fire she is a reason to live She is killing me burning only for him I'll spend my whole life loving her my heart exploding words Our love surpassed our love so fast Our love's all wrong our love goes on and on Our love became our love by name when I wrote it to you in a song Our love goes on and on Our love our love our love our love ... Our love surpassed our love so fast Our love's all wrong our love goes on and on Our love became our love by name when I wrote it to you in a song Our love goes on and on our love our love Our love our love our love our love our love.. |

This is what I do this is what I do
Jennifer 1 was a racehorse-rider Heidi was a house on fire Bernadette kept a distance we got tangled up in telephone wire I'm gonna sing this song forever about a girl that I once knew And how she is always leaving this is what I do This is what I do for a living this is what I do In another life I was a holy roller in another lifetime I flew I have always kept a distance this is what I do This is what I do for a living this is what I do This is what I do this is what I do Everybody's got a secret rhythm beating like a drum All of us have a albatross and this is my one This is what I do for a living this is what I do I could hide it in the attic I could bury it in static I could only put it out in Japan I could tape my mouth closed I could take another dose I am dancing as fast as I can This is what I do for a living this is what I do This is what I do this is what I do |

I'm dressed all in blue and I'm remembering you
And the dress you wore when you broke my heart I'm depressed upstairs and I'm remembering where And when and how and why'd you have to go so far Am I gonna be lonely for the rest of my life Am I gonna be lonely for the rest of my life I'm gonna be lonely for the rest of my life Unless you come around so come around I'm dressed all in white and I remember the night You came on to me and opened up my heart I was hollow then till you filled me in now I'm empty again I should have never let it start Am I gonna be lonely for the rest of my life Am I gonna be lonely for the rest of my life I'm gonna be lonely for the rest of my life Unless you come around so come around No one else can fix me although sometimes my heart tricks me Into thinking someone else will do But you're the only one you are the only one Am I gonna be lonely for the rest of my life Am I gonna be lonely for the rest of my life I'm gonna be lonely for the rest of my life Unless you come around so come around Am I gonna be lonely for the rest of my life Am I gonna be lonely for the rest of my life I'm gonna be lonely for the rest of my life Unless you come around so come around So come around so come around I'm dressed all in blue and I'm remembering you And the dress you wore when you broke my heart |

There was talk at the time
That she'd forgotten her senses she was running around and carrying on They were wrong but of course She had her faculties on her she was honorably carrying on She don't wonder anymore 'cause she knows what love is for I know it might sound weird but all of these things here Are things that disappear I know it might sound weird but all of these things here Are things that disappear She's got blood she's got eyes She's got a voice in her head and she listens every once in a while She don't wonder anymore 'cause she knows what love is for I know it might sound weird but all of these things here Are things that disappear I know it might sound weird but all of these things here Are things that disappear Is that all yes it is Put his stuff in a box and put him out of her memory Now he's gone and away but he will never be out of her misery She don't wonder anymore 'cause she knows what love is for I know it might sound weird but all of these things here Are things that disappear ...x6 |

There is a world inside the world that you see
And it's okay to count the minutes 'Cause how many could there be? And if love is all around us how could this have found us? The move you know is don't let go of me There is a world inside the world that you see Let's call her Halcyon and hope that she holds 'Cause every shore she's gonna touch is gonna turn to solid gold She and I've been wishing For a change in our condition It's not given, but it's obvious to me There is a world inside the world There is a world inside the world There is a world inside the world that you see There is a world inside the world that you see I read it in Delillo like they'd written it to me And if love is all we're made of Then what am I afraid of? Just 'cause freedom rings, it doesn't mean we're free There is a world inside the world There is a world inside the world There is a world inside the world There is a world inside the world There is a world inside the world that you see |

My friend is trapped in a shame spiral
I'm worried about my friend's survival Waiting around on the sea to collapse Sticking his foot in his own traps There is no brand new story and these stones are not a home Point Shirley or not to be You've got to get out of Point Shirley or not to be My friend is trapped in a hostile world The rutted sea is an angry girl Who calls you up just to hear you cry My friend's been there and so have I There is no brand new story and these stones are not a home Point Shirley or not to be You've got to get out of Point Shirley or not to be Point Shirley or not to be You've got to get out of Point Shirley or not to be ... My friend is sleeping on a six-foot wave There's too many of them to save I'm going to wait around for the sea to get full My friend's given in to the downward pull There is no brand new story and these stones are not a home Point Shirley or not to be You've got to get out of Point Shirley or not to be Point Shirley or not to be You've got to get out of Point Shirley or not to be Point Shirley or not to be You've got to get out of Point Shirley or not to be |

There’s only one of you parked on a bridge
Wondering if the radio is playing If you’re crazy or there’s voices in your head You’ve got a heart so big goes all the way to California Where the water hits the land I hope your folks’ll understand The city is dark but we’re not scared Wrapped up in each other Making loving out of nothing like the air supplier said You’ve got me so far gone I’m past Governor’s Island I’m past the Verrazano Bridge I’m past the Verrazano Bridge You come and you glow and you hum and you hover I cannot believe that you’re my lover You come and you glow and you hum and you hover I cannot believe that you’re my lover I cannot believe ... Later in a room picture of a girl Doesn’t do her justice what it does is make you realize You ought to be with her I’m talking ‘bout right now I mean this instant When the hip’ll meet the hand I hope your folks’ll understand You come and you glow and you hum and you hover I cannot believe that you’re my lover You come and you glow and you hum and you hover I cannot believe that you’re my lover I cannot believe that you’re my lover I cannot believe that you’re my lover You’re my lover You’re my lover You’re my lover |

Let's say you're in Chicago and you're rattling along on the El
And the one who rides beside you is a stranger to herself Nobody knows her own heart You might have been introduced but you drifted apart You're a long way from where you belong unaware Let's say you're in Chicago and you're making out under the El You're trapped in you're head humming a tune to yourself There's a trapdoor in your heart There's a false bottom line and it's falling apart You're a long way from where you belong unaware We were on pins and needles You were gearing up to cry I was the instigator you were the reason why You're a long way from where you belong unaware ... Let's say you're in Chicago and you're breaking up all over the El You were so in love but you were only in love with yourself Nobody knows her own heart Things were coming together now they're falling apart You're a long way from where you belong unaware You're a long way from where you belong unaware |

I try to make your world a better place
I'd smother you in kisses I'd give you outer space But you're terrified and it's tearing me apart Can I kiss your furrowed brow and calm your nervous heart Can I kiss your furrowed brow and calm your nervous heart I know the world's a bitch don't get me wrong You've got to give the world the finger You've got to sing a happy song Making love's by far the better part Can I kiss your furrowed brow and calm your nervous heart Can I kiss your furrowed brow and calm your nervous heart And if you've got to believe in something make it us 'Cause we've got love and devotion and trust What we've got was strong right from the start Can I kiss your furrowed brow and calm your nervous heart Can I kiss your furrowed brow and calm your nervous heart ... I know somebody must have gave you hell Maybe you went running as the sky just sort of fell Let me scoop you up and love you as you are Can I kiss your furrowed brow and calm your nervous heart Can I kiss your furrowed brow and calm your nervous heart Can I kiss your furrowed brow and calm your nervous heart |

I had a dream I was employed at my old position
As your second string it cut me down to the quick It hurt so badly who's to say is it possible It felt like it was real there was no god I could believe in You've got terrible vision if you don't see That I'm in love with you and how that means everything I had a dream that you were gone it was a heart condition Like I'd never known what my name was You couldn't see me You've got terrible vision if you don't see That I'm in love with you and how that means everything ... If I had known that you could leave I would have stolen myself out As it is I'm so in love there is no god It was a dream that's all it was you've got to wake me up now you've got to wake me up now you've got to wake me up now you've got to wake me up now You've got terrible vision if you don't see That I'm in love with you and how that means everything You've got terrible vision if you don't see That I'm in love with you and how that means everything ... |
