(Verlaine)
|
Tight toy night, streets were so bright.
|
The world looked so thin and between my bones and skin
|
there stood another person who was a little surprised
|
to be face to face with a world so alive.
|
I fell.
|
|
Didja feel low? No, not at all. Huh???
|
|
I fell right into the Arms of Venus de Milo.
|
I stood up, walked out of the Arms of Venus de Milo.
|
You know it's all like some new kind of drug.
|
My senses are sharp and my hands are like gloves.
|
Broadway looked so medieval -
|
it seemed to flap, like little pages:
|
I fell sideways laughing with a friend from many stages.
|
How l felt.
|
Suddenly my eyes went so soft and shaky.
|
I knew there was pain but pain is not aching.
|
Then Richie, Richie said:
|
"Hey man let's dress up like cops
|
Think of what we could do!"
|
But something, something said "you better not."
|
And I fell.
