We used to go out on the summer nights
and dance in the neon rain
We used to hold hands at the movie show
but we'll never hold hands again
Do do do do do come on come on
Do do do do do come on come on

Those days are gone ( Read more... )

I: should have forgotten you long ago.
but you're in every song i know.
wining and pining
is wrong and so on and so forth
of course of course
but no, you can't have a divorce

I: haven't seen you in ages ( Read more... )

We used to dance like it was going out of style
when you loved me for a while and I
remember every word you ever said; every kiss

We used to sing all the oldest songs we knew
but the words were never true for you
or was it all a game of solitaire played in the dark?

Softly the crystals falling on 17th St.
do their dance and die and are gone
Millions of crystal balls roll around your feet
nothing gets done

An hour goes by; she doesn't

If you don't cry then you just
don't feel it deep enough Dying all day in thousands of little ways ( Read more... )

Come back from San Francisco
It can't be all that pretty
when all of New York City misses you

Should pretty boys in discos
distract you from your novel
remember I'm awful in love with you

You need me
like the wind needs the trees to blow in
Like the moon needs poetry
you need me Come back from San Francisco and kiss me ( Read more... )

I'm a hopeless romantic
You're a terrible flirt
Cool and unfazed,
you're always amazed
when someone gets hurt

I live on the blue planet
that I saw in your eyes
but now I can't stay
knowing it's made
of beautiful lies

But my sentimental melody ( Read more... )
