The last time I saw Richard was Detroit in '68 |
[01:02.16] |
And he told me all romantics meet the same fate someday |
[01:07.60] |
Cynical and drunk and boring someone in some dark cafe |
[01:16.11] |
"You laugh," he said, "You think you're immune, |
[01:19.90] |
Go look at your eyes, they're full of moon |
[01:23.00] |
You like roses and kisses and pretty men to tell you |
[01:27.29] |
All those pretty lies, pretty lies |
[01:33.91] |
When you gonna realize they're only pretty lies |
[01:39.00] |
Only pretty lies, just pretty lies" |
[01:49.13] |
|
[01:56.54] |
He put a quarter in the Wurlitzer |
[01:59.10] |
And he pushed three buttons and the thing began to whirr |
[02:03.41] |
And a bar maid came by in fishnet stockings and a bow tie |
[02:07.64] |
And she said, "Drink up now it's gettin' on time to close" |
[02:12.87] |
"Richard you haven't really changed," I said, “ |
[02:16.40] |
"It's just that now you're romanticizing some pain that's in your head “ |
[02:20.49] |
You got tombs in your eyes, but the songs you punched are dreaming |
[02:25.79] |
Listen, they sing of love so sweet, love so sweet |
[02:31.60] |
[When you gonna go get yourself back on your feet? |
[02:36.54] |
Oh love can be so sweet, love so sweet. |
[02:45.95] |
|
[02:52.39] |
Richard got married to a figure skater |
[02:56.10] |
And he bought her a dishwasher and a coffee percolator |
[03:00.22] |
And he drinks at home now most nights with the TV on |
[03:04.10] |
And all the house lights left up bright |
[03:09.97] |
I'm gonna blow this damn candle out |
[03:12.47] |
I don't want nobody comin' over to my table |
[03:15.00] |
I got nothing to talk to anybody about |
[03:18.48] |
All good dreamers pass this way some day |
[03:21.19] |
Hidin' behind bottles in dark cafes, dark cafes |
[03:27.80] |
Only a dark cocoon before I get my gorgeous wings and fly away |
[03:34.96] |
Only a phase, these dark cafe days. |
[03:46.91] |
