Never a heaven an age old questionWritten from a cold placeI feel sour I need a showerOr just a slap in the faceCircumstance has left romanceAnd a puzzle in front of meWho knows the endingIf the truth need bendingA lie is the tool that you'll need So I'm under a mountainStuck to this mattressPerfume and Valium What makes a Sunday different from MondayCould be a look in her eyesIn need of flattery she changes batteriesSo that her light will shineThe words she uttersEither so flows or stuttersThey're either silly or wiseAnger with concernBut never to yearnOnly to be by your side Lay down with number 13It's a cold gray shame

From the moment you seeThe moment you breathThe moment I touch you From the moment you crawlThe moment you fallThe instant I loved you again From the moment of darknessThe moment of lightThe second I kissed you From the moment I enterThe moment I leaveIn this moment of rapture One mirror to many gonna tie you upA life forever empty has got to be toughTo many starless night gonna leave you blindCan never make it right From the moment you stumbleThe moment you runIn your presence I crumbleFrom the moment it happensThe moment you knowThere's no life without you

Baby, baby, why can't you sit still?Who killed that bird out on your window sill?Are you the reason that he broke his back?Tell me, did I see you laugh about that?If I come on like a dream?Will you let me show you what I mean?Will you let me come on inside?Will you let it glide? Can I have some remedy?All I want is a remedy.Remedy for me please.Cause if I had some remedyI'd take enough to please me. Baby, baby, why you dye your hair?Why you always keeping with your mother's dare?So, baby why who's who, who know you, too?Did the other children scold on you?If I come on like a dream?Will you let me show you what I mean?Will you let me come on inside?Will you let it slide?

With pawnshop eyes and a second hand frownShe sat silent at the tableHer boots were brown, well should she leave townTo play the role of lover expatriateA nod to the waiter, always her flirty behaviorYou know she always gets one on the houseShe pulls out a letterFrom a bag under her sweaterAnd before she reads she straightens her blouse There's a passion in being aloneA grace in a loveless timeThere's no new cross, there's no new signOnly the sun and the changing tide And out of respect, well really must confessI never lost your numberI never lost your addressAnd if we remain friends at bestSometime later no, no not yetWe'll smile and remember it like this She put back the letterOne tear falls like a featherAnd disappears on the bar room floorThe gratuity includedYou know the letter concludedP.S. with all my love There's a passion in being aloneA grace in a loveless timeThere's no new cross, there's no new signOnly the sun and the changing tide I said P.S. all my loveP.S. all my loveP.S. all my love

Wake me when the day breaksShow me how the sun shinesTell me about your heartachesWho could be so unkind?Do you dream to touch me?And smile down deep insideOr could you just kill me?It's hard to make up your mind, sometimes. My angels, my devils, my thorn in my pride.My angels, my devils, my thorn in my pride. Are you wanting inspirationYou spill your secrets on meThen you tell me with a whisperOf things that will never be.Do you hear me breathing?Does it make you want to scream?Did you ever like a bad dream?Sometimes life is obscene. My angels, my devils, my thorn in my pride.My angels, my devils, my thorn in my pride.My angels, my devils, my thorn in my pride.My angels, my devils, my thorn in my pride. Lover cover me with your sleepLet your love light shine, let it shineLover cover me with a good dreamLet your love light shine, let it shine
