 Night And Day » As letras [+ Engadir +] |
1. _ Glamour And Pain
I've had that dream again
Where i'm flying thirty feet
Above the street again
Looking though windows, there you are
Sit down to eat again
It's the usual egg foo yung
You watch tv again
Put the kids to bed
And then i see you reaching for my number
Then i hate you even more
I see it all
But no one sees me fly - no-one feels my pain
No-one hears me cry - no-one knows my name
Is glamour and pain - glamour and pain
Do you remember me
Or just the shiny shiny shoes i had you kiss for me?
And my legs as smooth as chrome
Were you in ecstasy
As you were pumping out a flood of dollar bills for me
I'd cry mascara tears
If only i could give a fuck about it
And though you can't recall
I see it all
But no one sees me fly - no-one feels my pain
No-one hears me cry - no-one knows my name
Is glamour and pain - glamour and pain
I'm hanging in the air
I look in your window at my own lipstick reflection there
And behind it such a precious son et lumi |
2. _ Stay
Here darkness never quite descends
Only the toughest stars
Hang with neon friends
Over neon candy stores
Till the bitter end
Oh madness
Waits for me someday
Raising a champagne glass
Down some dark alleyway
Down some mean magnetic street
Stopping me to say...
You could live anywhere you want to
Give me one reason to stay
Here monsters walk the earth again
Mermaids in black and gold
Perfume and cocaine
Rising from a teeming sea
Asking me again...
You could have anyone you want to
Give me one reason to stay
I think i'll stay

3. _ Why
Why smoke is coming out of ground
Tell me why
My english make an ugly sound
But i try
Why the empire state building green
Tell me why
Why house is smell of gasoline
Do i die

4. _ Dear Mom
Dear mom - i thought i found my sister
Downtown - less than a week ago
I called in - and some guy said i just missed her
She moved on - where do you think she'd go?
Dear mom - i know she's only sixteen
She's tough - but these days you never know
Someone - saw her at the el mocambo
He said - she put on quite a show
What if she won't come home
You know she don't want your money
What if she won't come home
Dear mom - i saw her on the subway
She looks good - she got a new tattoo
She swears - she's gonna call me later
I'd say - there's nothing we can do
What if she won't come home
You know she don't want your money
What if she won't come home
Dear mom - i heard from my little sister
Guess what - she's really doing well
She told me - to give you a message for her
"dear mom - why don't you go to hell"
Now that she won't come home
Maybe i'll stick around here
Now that she won't come home
Now that she won't come home
Maybe i'll stay forever
Now that she won't come home

5. _ Happyland
It was on a summer night, she says, a year ago today
Packed, the place was packed
The chicos lookin' for some play
He wore a satin shirt and said a prayer to yemay |
6. _ Just Because...
Can't drink the water
Can't breathe the air
Can't hide down in the sewer
'cause there's crocodiles down there
My hovel needs a barricade
My pants need an alarm
Need some non-alcoholic whiskey
And some giuliani charm
Just because you're paranoid
Don't mean they're not out to get ya
Don't look at me on the subway
And i won't look at you
Don't touch me with your greasy gloves
And syphilitic flu
Brain cancer causes cell phones
Brain damage causes drugs
I'm staying off the streets 'cause
Gangwar causes thugs
Just because you're paranoid
Don't mean they're not out to get ya

7. _ Love Got Lost
Here we go, monday morning at last
In the land of the brave and the bold
Sunlight is hurting my eyes
But it's on to the glittering prize
There's a rent to pay
Gimme a coffee to go, make it fast
There'll be a merger before it gets cold
They've closed down the whole seventh floor
The young guns are ready for war
But i'm holding on
Long ago and far away
I was safe and sound
But love got lost
Along the way
Saturday night, went to see la boh |
8. _ Hell Of A Town
It's a hell of a town
There's smoke coming up through the holes in the ground
It's a hell of a town
Plenty of devils for taking you down
Any time of night and day
It's a hell of a town
Getting drunk on the tears of a clown
It's a hell of a town
Steppin' out in a bulletproof gown
So get out of my goddamn way
I'm walking here
I'm talking here
It's a hell of a town
Swimming out where the ships run aground
It's a hell of a town
Always room on the merry-go-round
So step up and be damned today
I'm walking here
I'm talking here

9. _ Stranger Than You
At a bar on 43rd at quarter to two
Met my friend the chinese elvis and hoisted a few
He talks like mickey mouse
And sees with x-ray eyes
Lives in a cardboard house
I almost gave him the prize
Until you
Came along - thanks for opening my eyes
Things you do - right or wrong
It should come as no surprise
When you live in a town where there's always somebody
Stranger than you
At 83rd and amsterdam there's an indian jew
Who pierced all his private parts with a permanent screw
He sleeps on a bed of nails
Which came from outer space
And in my taller tales
I gave him pride of place
Until you
Came along - thanks for opening my eyes
Things you do - right or wrong
It should come as no surprise
When you live in a town where there's always somebody stranger than you
Stranger than you
I'm not complaining even though i'm not sure what you are
I've got the strangest feeling (good) about this love bizarre
I could have stayed in bed
H iding from this freaky show
I'm happy that instead
I knew just where to go
When you came along - thanks for opening my eyes
Things you do - right or wrong
It should come as no surprise
When you live in a town where there's always somebody
Stranger than you
Are you a boy - are you a girl
Are you an oyster - are you a pearl
Are you a fish - are you a fowl?
Are you an angel - are you from hell
