S. Colvin - J. Leventhal
|
|
Jump into the night
|
Gas up and downshift
|
Cruise up the coast
|
On the FM drift
|
It's a crazy world
|
On the head of a pin
|
|
|
Some other time
|
Some other star
|
I might've cried but now
|
You only need to look so far
|
As the smile on my face
|
To see the shape I'm in
|
|
|
Try love in a bottle
|
Try love in a box
|
Play it all night long
|
Dance 'til you drop
|
And it sure got soul
|
It's not flesh and blood
|
|
|
I tried looking for love
|
But I guess it's true
|
You don't look for love
|
It's gonna look for you
|
Well you found me, honey
|
And you sound so good
|
|
|
You're the object
|
Of my affection
|
Not a dream
|
Or make believe
|
You're the object
|
Of my affection
|
Come to me
|
|
|
Now we see the women
|
In the photograph
|
Sweet Anne of mercy
|
And Sylvia Plath
|
For a thousand words
|
They got a life sentence
|
|
|
If we lined up all the girls
|
Who died in vain
|
We could walk on their heads
|
To hell and back again
|
But I got the big book
|
And antidepressants
|
|
|
You're the object
|
Of my affection
|
Not a phantom fantasy
|
You're the object
|
Of my affection
|
Come to me
|
|
|
You're the object
|
Of my affection
|
Not a toy with batteries
|
You're the object
|
Of my affection
|
Not a rescue remedy
|
You're the object
|
Of my affection
|
Come to me
|
|
