|
He's not falling, simply waiting, |
|
fading at the edges. |
|
Sitting back, thinking that there's little point in moving. |
|
He smiles, says his stars are friendly, |
|
anything can be done. |
|
"Shall we get very drunk?" |
|
He says "I stay alive, It's the best thing, |
|
the only thing I know." |
|
She's not talking, easy dreaming |
|
all that life away. |
|
She gets laughing, missed the light, |
|
no regrets today. |
|
She looks up, another sunset, |
|
"Was it very very good?" |
|
"Shall we get really high?" |
|
She says, "I stay alive, it's the best thing, |
|
the only think I know." |
|
She says, "Hold me, hold me hard. |
|
Hold me, hold me, hold me harder. |
|
Stop me thinking about myself. |
|
Stop me hoping for more than I am." |
|
She says, "Why do I want more than good looks? |
|
Why do I want more than great books? |
|
Is that all there is? Is that all there is?" |
|
She smiles and stays alive. |
|
It's the best thing, the only thing she knows. |
|
They're together, simply dancing all the nights away. |
|
There's the window, let's wait up for this precious dawn. |
|
He smiles, tells her she looks lovely, |
|
anything can be done. |
|
She looks up and laughs. |
|
He says "I stay alive. |
|
It's the best thing, the only thing I can give you." |
|
I was brought up with higher expectations. |
|
I was brought up that hell's a hipper way to go. |
|
He says "Hold me, hold me hard...." |
