We imagined ourselves As cathedral bells Ringing out through the moribund streets Like shrill courtesans Making fanciful plans That we whispered while drifting to sleep
And I told you I'd stay In every possible way Though we both knew that that wasn't true You said "You would understand If it was for something so grand As this mirrored reflection of you"
And New York in October Was never so sober As the beatings on the windows in March Trying so hard in vain To stay out of the rain Falling off our cathedral arch
You were Zelda, Isolde, You were Audrey and Kate You were Miss Cleopatra in heels And then anonymously You were April to me Throwing rocks just to see how it feels
With those lines in your eyes And that platinum crown And that gaudy red rouge on your cheeks You must've look so divine To some neophyte trying But you look like a common whore to me
And I liked you the best When your a plain simple mess Drinking wine from a big plastic cup While the radio played Some soft serenade And we noticed the sun coming up
And the blue in your eyes Looked like ice when you cried You were always so cold when we touched Happy birthday to you I sure hope it's untrue Even though I don't miss you that muchTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
