Can I still smoke my cigarettes and have my coffee
Up there in heaven with a bottle of wine
The mirrors in the room go black and blue
On a Sunday morning in her Saturday shoes
One night at the diner over eggs,
Over easy she showed me the length of her legs,
But that gold plated cross on her neck, it was real
And you don't get that kind of money from pushing a meal.
Well, everybody wants to go forever
I just wanna burn up hard and bright
Let's take a ride to the easy plateau
Where the cold don't come and the wind don't blow
Moonlight flickers on the water below
Well, the night makes moves
And it shatters like broken glass
Note to self: don't change for anyone
Note to self: don't die
Forever only takes its toll on some
Bad nights lead to better days
If I had a reed made of lightning I could blow the sax all night... I don't know where one would acquire a reed made of lightning but I would imagine that Bill Clinton has one.
And I'm tired of living here in this hotel,
Snow and the rain falling through the sheets.
In fact, I'm tired of 23rd Street.
Strung out like some Christmas lights
Out there in the Chelsea night.
Love Is Hell pt. 2 (2003)
All the cars are lined up on a Saturday night
With the sky full of nothing but moon
And I lose my reflection in the bottles of wine
Put your troubles behind you and go on to bed
Let go of the worry, there's so much nobody understands
Don't live your life in such a hurry, life goes by us so so fast
These things inside me, they repeat like broken records
Spinning pretty things behind my eyes
And when I can't look at you
I can paint your picture perfectly in my mind
And when I get old
I'm gonna miss you all the time.
She's got the brown eyes, yeah, and they're pretty as hell,
And they'll burn through your shirt if you're holding her still.
She's got a lighter, and a lit cigarette,
And if you're making her smile, that's just as high as you can get.
Walking through a star field covered in lights
Wasted like you're losing your job you're so fired
We're just like the ones we used to make fun of
I should've died a hundred thousand times,
Teetering stoned off the side of a building.
Nobody loved me and nobody even tried
You can't hang on to something that won't stop moving.
Singing and dancing to them nighttime songs.
Just a nobody girl
With a radar to the scene.
When the emptiness finds you
You find all the numbers you need.
You say you follow your heart
Well, honey, you're just being lost.
You could you follow your gut
But how much would it cost?
You didn't see us, nothing can free us
We're just trapped inside the lens without a smile
Wanna get to you, nothing can get through
Lookin' back's a real fine time to say goodbye
As a man I ain’t never been much for sunny days.
I’m as calm as a fruit stand in New York and maybe as strange.
But when the color goes out of my eyes, it’s usually the change.
But damn, Sam, I love a woman that rains.
