Since Suzie left the William's place
The mornings have been kind
Only Jimmy in his Buick 5
Racing steadily toward Hyde [0:32]
Baby are you my jinx
Or are you my lucky charm
You've got me all tied up
You've got me all tied up
My sister with the surfboard
Who lives far from the sea
She asks me baby
What does someone like you
See in someone like me
But I couldn't answer
I just could not get free
'Cause you've got me...
You've got me all tied up
You've got me all tied up
You've got me all tied up
You've got me all tied up
You've got me all tied up
You've got me all tied up
You've got me all tied up
You've got me all tied up
You've got me all tied up
You've got me all tied up
You've got me all tied up
You've got me all tied up

Your bee sting lips
Your glamorous friend
Your hotel, your next weekend
Monument City Lights, 1973
Your driver called
There's been a scene
They're looking for you everywhere
Monument City Lights, 1973
She is feedback
She is sound
Moving through you pound by pound
Monument City Lights, 1973
She is feedback
She is sound
Moving through you pound by pound
Monument City Lights
Every time
Think of the street
Where we used to stop and eat
Monument City Lights, 1973
Parade on by
Now out of sight
My work is done
Now it's goodnight to...
Monument City Lights, 1973
'Cause she is feedback
She is sound
Moving through you pound by pound
Monument City Lights, 1973
The light
Oh oh oh
The light
Oh oh oh
Light
Of Monument City Lights
Light
1973
Tonight
Oh oh oh
Tonight
Oh oh oh
Night (Monument City Lights)
Monument City Lights
Night
1973
Tonight
Oh oh oh
Tonight
Oh oh oh
Night
Monument City Lights
Night
Tonight
Oh oh oh
Tonight
Oh oh oh
Night
Monument City Lights
Night

I wrote this song and I was high on love
You wanna come and we could try on love
They say the whole damn world's been spry on love
Love keeps them planets hanging in the sky
Yeah everything around me is built on love
Think of all the tears that have been spilt on love
Then come and live it up to the hilt on love
Love makes lovebirds really fly
Baby light speed your love
Maybe I need your love
More than you thought oh baby send your love
The love that I sought
Precious spirit I love your take on love
Every mistake I made I made on love
I go to sleep and then I wake on love
Love that holds the gods themselves in chains
I am still standing here still on love
And take another minute just to chill on love
I take another morsel just to fill on love
Love for afters [2:16], and love for me [2:21]
Baby light speed your love
Maybe I need your love
More than you thought oh baby send your love
The love that I sought
Yeah!
Baby light speed your love (baby light speed your love)
Maybe I need your love (I need I need I need your love)
More than you thought, oh baby, send your love

Cindy Walker, a sweet talker
She's down on the street
Inside her head somebody said
Man we gotta meet
Everyone's an actor
Just going through a stage
Must be the dangerous age
Jamie Black, the girl on his back
Outside a bar
Franklin Jones on the phones
Inside his car
Soon those two will collide
Oh the same fate
In a dangerous age
Long winter, short summer
It's getting cold
Longer nights, shorter days
Now you've been told by a sage
It's a dangerous age
Stevie K had his heyday
In the distant past
That song just don't belong now
We're all aghast
Think about that silence
In John Cage
It's the dangerous age
It's a dangerous age
It's the dangerous age
No one sees the stars who lie
Banished from the eastern sky
Vanish in the twinkle of your eye
No one hears a nightingale
Broken in the Bloomingdale
A token for her sudden pale failure
Oh oh oh oh
No one knows the stars who frame
The injuries throughout your game
No one helps a juggernaut
Or attempts to give support [1:22]
Except if you laughed at the lessons it taught
Oh oh oh oh
Shot from memory
Developed in tears
Bathed in pathos
No one will remember us
No one hears a nightingale
Broken in the Bloomingdale
A token for her sudden pale failure
Oh oh oh oh
Shot from memory
Developed in tears
Bathed in pathos
No one will remember us
Shot from memory
Printed in time
Cut up by secrecy
How you won't remember me
Shot from memory
Developed in tears
Bathed in pathos
No one will remember us

My restless heart cannot keep still
I went and gave it all away
I should have kept something for you
Now you're gone
And I hear you
In every type of song I sing
And it's no good
Oh my restless heart
Time heals all wounds
But there's one wound that time won't heal
I keep my castle
My secret language to myself
Now I stand at the start of the life where we once lived
And it's no good
My restless heart
I used to believe that love was a satellite TV
A silent moving picture
Standing up hale like you and me
And how things change
And that's just where it's gotten to be
I hold my breath just waiting
Anticipating
So shine, shine a light
The brightest light
The light that leads me to your door
So shine, shine a light
The brightest light
The light that leads me to your door
Do do, do do do do do
Do do do do do
Do do do do do
Do do, do do do do do
Do do do do do
The morning sings behind me
As I stroll on into town
The buttons on my coat
Keep dragging all my fingers down
Quickly, like a circus dog
Now everyone's a clown
For the girl
The horses with the bridled fury
Trot 'round an empty ring
The old ballet of yesterday
Has been replaced by the nearest thing
Yes, the net is gone
And maybe now this one can sing
Oh, the girl
Bring all the liars
Let's light a big fire
For the girl on the highwire
Bring all the criers
Let's start a big cry
For the girl on the highwire
Bring all the liars
Let's light a big fire
For the girl on the highwire
Bring all the criers
Let's start a big cry
For the girl on the highwire
Bring all the liars
Let's light a big fire
For the girl on the highwire
Bring all the criers
Let's start a big cry
For the girl on the highwire
Do do, do do do do do
Do do do do do
Oh the night when we first met
Was like an endless cigarette
That went on and on and on and on
And on the seventh floor
You were my Romeo
I was your Juliet
And in time we will forget
About the people we once were
Who were those people we once were
So long ago
So long ago
Who were those people we once knew
So long ago
So long ago
You count the cards and tame the shrew
You tell me things I never knew
But we've been here
Yeah we've been all over this
All this before
Now it's crying time again
'Cause we were never more than friends
And there's no happy ever after
When you're torn apart
Who were those people we once knew
So long ago
So long ago
Who were those people we once knew
So long ago
So long ago
(So long ago)
Who were those people we once were
So long ago
So long ago
Who were those people we once knew
So long ago
So long ago
Yes it's crying time again
We were never more than friends
Like a candle in the wind
Or a 1940's gin
All those promises
You said you'd write
You said you'd call
You said you'd send a card
With all your regrets
That I'm not yours
And you're not mine
I guess it's just because
I'm not the loving kind
You leave it all behind
I guess our love was wasted
Love was blind
But I am not yours
And you're not mine
I guess it just was
A perfect waste of time
Perfect waste of time
A perfect waste of time
A perfect waste of time
It's wrong
So right
Lonely days and lonely at night
When it's time to stay
I always walk away
And I'm not yours
And you're not mine
I've said it once before
I'm not the loving kind
Like a timeless melody
That just wasn't meant to be
Now the jumbles of this fall
And love is falling on me
'Cause I am not yours
And you are not mine
I said it once before
We're not the loving kind
We're not the loving kind
I'm not the loving kind
You're not the loving kind
We're not the loving kind
I'm not the loving kind
You're not the loving kind
We're not the loving kind
We're not the loving kind
I'm not the loving kind
You're not the loving kind
You're not the loving kind
I'm not the loving kind
I'm not the loving kind
I'm not the loving kind
We're not the loving kind
I am Steve McQueen in the cooler baby
Wastin' my ti-i-i-ime
Paul Newman on a chain gang
Nowhere to hi-i-i-ide
There's no easy way out
So we try aga-a-a-ain
I liked you better when
We were just frie-e-e-ends
Ye-e-e-es
There's no easy way out
So we try aga-a-a-a-ain
And it's always the sa-a-a-ame
It's just a losing game
Shirley Temple at the foot of the bar
Time to take a ri-i-i-ide
East of Eden is your calling
And I'm right by your si-i-i-ide
Palm prints in the concrete
Time moves so fa-a-a-ast
Bright lights with your name it
Right out of the pa-a-a-ast
Ye-e-e-es
There's no easy way out
So we try again
It's always the same
It's just a losing game
And there's no easy way out
So we try again
It's always the same
It's just a losing game
Welcome back to Eden
Welcome back to to-o-o-own
Where up is still up
And down is just do-o-o-own
You climb so hi-i-i-igh
Then hit the earth with a thud
Mistook love for adventure
Now enough is enou-ou-ou-ough
Ye-e-e-es
There's no easy way out
So we try again, we try again
But it's always the same
It's just a losing game
And there is no easy way out
It's always the same, always the same
We could try
But it's a losing game

Glacial speed
Yes indeed
See her unravel at glacial speed
Feel her travelling on need
Yes indeed, glacial speed
Well, I saw her through my letterbox
Falling with the mail
Well, I never saw a better fox
Crawling through the vale
The iron farm, Antarctica
Driven as the snow
To rest upon the retina
At glacial speed she goes
Glacial speed
Yes indeed
See her unravel at glacial speed
Feel her travelling on a need
Yes indeed, glacial speed
Took off our cloaks
In that nest of hers
The freezing summer wind
A devil on that chest of hers
Never before she sing
I insure the farm, Andromeda
But warmth within the glow
The way you're feeling ??? [2:38]
At glacial speed she goes
Glacial speed
Yes indeed
See her unravel at glacial speed
Feel her travelling on need
Yes indeed, glacial speed
I am a little gilded bird
That calls you from a cage
Singin' 'bout the cats who write
The spirit of the age
Singin' 'bout that hawk-like man
That never could be mine
Oh darling what happened to Steven Valentine?
With hollow cheek and steel gray eye
He clips away my wing
And sent away the audience
Who came to hear me sing
Locked me in his cabinet
With his whiskey and his wine
Whatever happened to Steven Valentine?
Oh my darling
Oh my starling
Oh my darling cut of mine [1:43]
Oh my baby now
Is that what happened to Steven Valentine?
Valentine will have his day
But god he ain't no saint
Passing my song for evermore
Although my voice grows faint
For the eagle in his eyrie
And the owl upon the pain
Ask them what happened to Steven Valentine
Ask them what happened to Steven Valentine
Ask them
Steven Valentine
