lyrics
Come over to my house
Come by when the moon is out
We'll play Debussy til the morning hours and we will fight the demons off with love...
In a crowded room everybody holds his head high
so not a word spoken 'pon while it is said.
So the room gets filled with conversations whipping 'round.
The men who gorge at will,
The ladies in the vise-grip gowns.
I could never be half the man I wanted.
I could never see the simple things to honor.
So give me gold and properties to build a home.
Caviar left out on the nightstand.
Like a czar, my conquests are but grains of sand:
minuscule, too insignificant to know.
There she was this tiny little kitten, lapping up everything that's written.
Traveling on poetry and metaphor.
All my things I left back at the palace:
diamond rings, my greed, my hate, my malice.
She and I are finding ways to feed the core.
Was it love?
Or just a crazy lesson?
Was she real or sent to me from heaven?
Who can say how lovers can direct the soul?
Come by when the moon is out
We'll play Debussy til the morning hours and we will fight the demons off with love...
In a crowded room everybody holds his head high
so not a word spoken 'pon while it is said.
So the room gets filled with conversations whipping 'round.
The men who gorge at will,
The ladies in the vise-grip gowns.
I could never be half the man I wanted.
I could never see the simple things to honor.
So give me gold and properties to build a home.
Caviar left out on the nightstand.
Like a czar, my conquests are but grains of sand:
minuscule, too insignificant to know.
There she was this tiny little kitten, lapping up everything that's written.
Traveling on poetry and metaphor.
All my things I left back at the palace:
diamond rings, my greed, my hate, my malice.
She and I are finding ways to feed the core.
Was it love?
Or just a crazy lesson?
Was she real or sent to me from heaven?
Who can say how lovers can direct the soul?
