You have loved enough
Now let me be the lover
We’ve been alone too long.
Let’s be alone together.
Let’s see if we’re that strong.
Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin
Dance me through the panic ‘til I’m gathered safely in
Lift me like an olive branch and be my homeward dove
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love.
I dreamed about you, baby.
It was just the other night.
Most of you was naked
Ah, but some of you was light.
The sands of time were falling
from your fingers and your thumb,
and you were waiting
for the miracle, for the miracle to come.
Oh, like a bird on the wire
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free.
It’s written on the walls of this hotel
You go to heaven once you’ve been to hell.
Queen Victoria,
I’m not much nourished by modern love,
will you come into my life
with your sorrow and your black carriages,
And your perfect
memories.Queen Victoria,
the Twentieth Century belongs to you and me.
Let us be two severe giants not less lonely for our partnership,
who discolour test tubes in the halls of Science,
who turn up unwelcome at every World’s Fair,
heavy with proverbs and corrections,
confusing the star-dazed tourists
with our incomparable sense of loss.
Thought I saw an eagle
but it might have been a vulture,
I never could decide.
behind the pain
someone is rejoicingbehind the torture
there is lovewho’s going to buy
this bullshitif you don’t become the ocean
you’ll be seasick
every day.
So you can stick your little pins in that voodoo doll
I’m very sorry, baby, doesn’t look like me at all
I’m standing by the window where the light is strong
Ah they don’t let a woman kill you
Not in the Tower of Song.
