Current song lyrics
The last time I saw Richard was Detroit in '68<br />And he told me all romantics meet the same fate someday<br />Cynical and drunk and boring someone in some dark cafe<br />You laugh he said you think you're immune<br />Go look at your eyes they're full of moon<br />You like roses and kisses and pretty men to tell you<br />All those pretty lies pretty lies<br />When you gonna realize they're only pretty lies<br />Only pretty lies just pretty lies<br /><br />He put a quarter in the Wurlitzer and he pushed<br />Three buttons and the thing began to whirr<br />And a bar maid came by in fishnet stockings and a bow tie<br />And she said "Drink up now it's gettin' on time to close"<br />"Richard, you haven't really changed" I said<br />It's just that now you're romanticizing some pain that's in your head<br />You got tombs in your eyes but the songs you punched are dreaming<br />Listen, they sing of love so sweet, love so sweet<br />When you gonna get yourself back on your feet?<br />Oh and love can be so sweet Love so sweet<br /><br />Richard got married to a figure skater<br />And he bought her a dishwasher and a coffee percolator<br />And he drinks at home now most nights with the TV on<br />And all the house lights left up bright<br />I'm gonna blow this damn candle out<br />I don't want nobody comin' over to my table<br />I got nothing to talk to anybody about<br />All good dreamers pass this way some day<br />Hidin' behind bottles in dark cafes dark cafes<br />Only a dark cocoon before I get my gorgeous wings and fly away<br />Only a phase these dark cafe days
