BLACK BEAR

black bear, i'm not afraid of you
i've known these woods all my life
and you're friendly when you want to be
why wouldn't you want to be?
she was to be my wife
and i was to be her bride
but that's all right
black bear, i can't believe it's true
i've known this town my whole life
and you're family when you want to be
why wouldn't you want to be?
she was to be my wife
and i was to be her bride
but that's all right
well, i heard someone sing on the radio
who sounded like someone that i used to know
and i can't help feelin a little lonely
cos ain't no one callin on me no more
black bear, i will remain with you
i couldn't leave this house if i tried
ain't it funny how things used to be?
do you remember how things used to be?

hello belliah my love
you know (what) they are what they are
i still think of you every time i get an f train
and how we flew back through time across the city
from luna park to ebbets field at twilight
oh no oh no
i'll stare holes through sorrow
summer '05
i could've clawed your fuckin eyes out
but like lincoln said
"with you i'd rather charleston"
so you be harpo marx
and i'll be greta garbo's laugh

POOR VERLAINE
03:49
|
|||
|
(farce continuelle?)
they pity their poor verlaine
made ill by some vile infant libertine
remember those days
in wyckoff and nevins opiate haze?
so long
i really must get going soon
goodbye
i pray you'll not again be my lune
our first time
where was that?
i forget i was so young
so long east river
so long my heart
fade away old shivers
fade away my sorrow
yes to temptation you'd succumb
4th & broadway never looked so antediluvian
you missed your chance
to make reparations for your crimes
oh my god
i don't think i can keep this lie
fare thee well
let no one forgive my misprisions
that last time
how'd you dare?
don't you care that i was so drunk?
so long east river
so long my heart
fade away old shivers
fade away my sorrow
come tomorrow i won't care
who was right or if i was wrong about him
or wrong to run away

GHOST BOY
03:13
|
|||
|
i still remember your hotel room
that night we sang til morning
we lit a thousand cigarettes
you nearly died from pneumonia
ghost boy i want you
closer now
cos i belong with you
i turned myself into such a hateful fool
so now one would see how i loved you
but it shone through and they saw everything
i wonder could you have felt the same way as me
oh i'll never love another
ghost boy i want you
closer now
cos i'm in love with you
ghost boy it's not fair
to shut me out
cos i was just a kid
when i was left for dead

MY NAME IS ANNA
04:08
|
|||
|
i left my hometown
went to nyc
got a room at hotel chelsea
they took my health
took every last of my pennies
what's left of my soul been fucked out
now you know
i wish i had your glow
i wish i had your bones
i wish i was your clone
now you know
my name is anna
close your eyes
close your eyes and tell me
you've seen her before in my smile
cos i'm worn out
and i'll wear out forever
if no one worms their way into my heart

it never felt this dangerous
until i came back here with you
but when i hear your heart beat
it feels like we survived world war three
i think we're falling in love
like lennon and mccartney
i thought i'd never feel this way again
i thought the restlessness of youth had gone
well, some seem to think that we're creepy
and some say it must be telepathy
i think we're falling in love
like lennon and mccartney
i hear wedding bells ring around the harbor
and i fear a day will come when you leave me alone
don't leave me alone!
well it was just like a bedtime story
but you always fell asleep before "goodnight"
so you never knew how it ended
never knew quite what our friendship was meant to be
i think we're falling in love
like lennon and mccartney

VESELKA MY LOVE
04:08
|
|||
|
i was lost
and i was alone
found myself drowning
every night
then one morning
everything was all right
cos there was you
veselka
i've been so starry-hearted since i met you
i always thought
that i knew this town
fell asleep on the subway
one night in july
when i woke up
couldn't believe my eyes
cos there was you
veselka
i've been so starry-hearted since i met you

MARTIAN MOON
05:28
|
|||
|
you are lost and blue
no correspondence
an illness looming
somehow everyone knew
you were like broken oarlocks
and would sink and drown soon
whoever loved you
loves you still
whoever hurt you is gone
i hear the gas lamps burning out
across the harbor the reflections fade on
ascending octaves drifting out of tune
is there no one
my martian moonlight?

meet me at bethesda fountain
if you're still in love with me
i never told you quite how i felt
i should have warned you of what was happening
i don't know my own name now or what went wrong
and all contrition pales in song
meet me at bethesda fountain
if you're still in love with me
it's back to the closet now
where i belong
with ill-fitting blouses
and frayed nightgowns
you're still out there somewhere
lost in bottles deep
unbinding your chest
before you go to sleep
meet me at bethesda fountain
if you're still in love with me
if you're still in love...
if you're still in love...
how could you still be in love with me?
