|
Just a minute before you leave girl |
|
Just a minute before you touch the door |
|
What is it that you're trying to achieve, girl ? |
|
Do you think we can talk about it some more ? |
|
You know, the streets are filled with vipers |
|
Who've lost all ray of hope |
|
You know, it ain't even safe no more |
|
In the palace of the Pope. |
|
Don't fall apart on me tonight |
|
I just don't think that I could handle it |
|
Don't fall apart on me tonight |
|
Yesterday's just a memory |
|
Tomorrow is never what it's supposed to be |
|
And I need you, yeah. |
|
Come over here from over there, girl |
|
Sit down here, you can have my chair |
|
I can't see us going anywhere, girl |
|
The only place open is a thousand miles away and I can't take you there |
|
I wish I'd have been a doctor |
|
Maybe I'd have saved some life that had been lost |
|
Maybe I'd have done some good in the world |
|
'Stead of burning every bridge I crossed. |
|
Don't fall apart on me tonight |
|
I just don't think that I could handle it |
|
Don't fall apart on me tonight |
|
Yesterday's just a memory |
|
Tomorrow is never what it's supposed to be |
|
And I need you, yeah. |
|
I ain't too good at conversation, girl |
|
So you might not know exactly how I feel |
|
But if I could, I'd bring bring you to the mountaintop, girl |
|
And build you a house made out of stainless steel |
|
But it's like I'm stuck inside a painting |
|
That's hanging in the Louvre |
|
My throat start to tickle and my nose itches |
|
But I know that I can't move. |
|
Don't fall apart on me tonight |
|
I just don't think that I could handle it |
|
Don't fall apart on me tonight |
|
Yesterday's gone but the past lives on |
|
Tomorrow's just one step beyond |
|
And I need you, yeah. |
|
Who are these people who are walking towards you |
|
Do you know them or will there be a fight ? |
|
With their humorless smiles so easy to see through |
|
Can they tell you what's wrong from what's right ? |
|
Do you remember St. James Street |
|
Where you blew Jackie P.'s mind ? |
|
You were so fine, Clark Gable would have fell at your feet |
|
And laid his life on the line. |
|
Let's try to get beneath the surface waste, girl |
|
No more booby traps and bombs |
|
No more decadence and charm |
|
No more affection that's misplaced, girl |
|
No more mudcake creatures lying in your arms |
|
What about that millionaire with the drumsticks in his pants ? |
|
He looked so baffled and so bewildered |
|
When he played and we didn't dance. |
|
Don't fall apart on me tonight |
|
I just don't think that I could handle it |
|
Don't fall apart on me tonight |
|
Yesterday's just a memory |
|
Tomorrow is never what it's supposed to be |
|
And I need you, yeah. |
