I'll be the madness that carries you away
I'll be the sadness to light your darkest day I'll be the desert island where you can be free I'll be the vulture you can catch and eat Desert island love is all around Desert island where you can laugh aloud Desert island everywhere's a beach Desert island that's what I wanna be. We'll develop muscles from cracking coconuts Let our clothing drop off feel each other's butts Start a better country where we can get things done Make a fortune turning sand to silicon Desert island love is all around Desert island where you can laugh aloud Desert island everywhere's a beach Desert island that's what I wanna be. While we're still holding on counting days until we're gone Can we spend some time alone in our free love zone Desert island love is all around Desert island where you can laugh aloud Desert island everywhere's a beach Desert island that's what I wanna be. |

You didn't have to say that I'm no good, 'cause I know.
There's no point pointing pistols at me now, I'll just go. I never should have asked you to be kind, but I'm slow. I'm sorry, but how can I get to you Stuck in my fifty-pound lead boots, Stuck in my deep sea diving suit? I never thought you'd turn on me, 'cause you're my best friend. You say I never offered you a thing in the end. And now you wouldn't trust me with a grain of sand. I'm sorry, but how can I get to you Stuck in my fifty-pound lead boots, Stuck in my deep sea diving suit? |

You know the rain is gone when the sky is full of dust
and the tears are gone when your eyes are red as rust and it just rains because it can and you just cry until you can't But I can feel my courage crumbling and my heart just turns to ice When I see myself reflected in your torn green velvet eyes. You know the night is gone when the sunlight burns your eyes and the cold is gone when the room is full of flies and it's all a waste of time if you try to change your mind And it's all a waste of time if you try to change your mind |

I saw you standing at the airport
With your chihuahua in your hand Crying on the moving sidewalk On your way to Disneyland And the flowers she sent and the flowers she said she sent Are all equally dead You don't care anymore, she said And the books she read and the books that she said she read Are all spread on the floor You don't care about them anymore I saw you closing your antique shop With a boa 'round your throat And you tremble like an ostrich In your ostrich feather coat And the flowers she sent and the flowers she said she sent Are all equally dead You don't care anymore, she said And the books she read and the books that she said she read Are all spread on the floor You don't care about them anymore |

I read your manifestoes and your strange religious tracts.
You took me to your library and kissed me in the stacks. Planets crash, the world goes nova, Sun explodes, all goes black. You went off swinging London and forgot to come back You couldn't grok my racecar, but you dug the roadside blur. You weren't into my airplane, but you loved the whirling world. Planets crash, the world goes nova, Sun explodes, all goes black. You went off swinging London and forgot to come back Planets crash, the world goes nova, Sun explodes, all goes black. You went off swinging London and forgot to come back |

Time swings like a wrecking ball into things
Youth fades as quickly as a hit parade But as the days go by in the gray world outside days grow on colorful trees In my secret place, in my secret place. They'll sell you tickets for their carousel don't pay They'll get your money either way You can go up and go down you can go round and round but there's a better fairground In my secret place, in my secret place. |

The saddest brown eyes I'll ever know.
You gave crying so long ago, But come outside and watch the snow Softly falling. Sad Little Moon in the big black sky. All alone, hang your head and cry. Sad Little Moon in the timeless night. You may sleep, but you will never die. You didn't need them, your Sunday friends. And so you watched them like grains of sand Running one by one out of your hands Softly falling. |

Crows in the trees spanish hotels by the sea
we wave goodbye airplanes draw swords in the sky I'm so rich and you're so bored Are you the trouble I've been looking for You go out and you slam the door Are you the trouble I've been looking for. My eyes still burn whether you leave or return The flowers bloom when you walk into the room I'm so rich and you're so bored Are you the trouble I've been looking for You go out and you slam the door Are you the trouble I've been looking for. You stole it all and wrote my name on a wall I've moved again I've changed my name again I'm so rich and you're so bored Are you the trouble I've been looking for You go out and you slam the door Are you the trouble I've been looking for. |

Please forgive me for all the things I've done.
Sugar give me the love I need to carry on living. Living without you I'd just die With you, with you I can hold my head up high And tell the crowd that I'm so proud It makes me want to cry Sugar World of you Sugar World what can I do Sugar World you're so Sweet You're a Sugar World To me you're champagne or ruhr wine Will you make up your mind You're lemon or you're lime You're pecan or praline You're sky bar or cloud nine Sugar save me, come on save me from myself. Enslave me, I never wanted anything else. Looking, looking into your candy eyes. Talking, talking about the day when I can Make a vow, but that's not now. It makes me want to cry. Sugar World of you Sugar World what can I do Sugar World you're so Sweet You're a Sugar World To me you're champagne or ruhr wine Will you make up your mind You're lemon or you're lime You're pecan or praline You're sky bar or cloud nine |

Sad as a painted clown, a beautiful boy in an ugly town
but when your circus closes down don't walk away from me you've been asleep too long, the birds are bruises in the dawn the pounds of flesh between us stretch as far as you can see But all you ever do is walk away and I know if you'd only go slow you could see what it means to be making the scene with me But all you ever do is walk away and I think if you tried you could find a little time for the life I can see in your eyes, don't go. Don't go. Sometimes you just explode and no one alive can break your code You have a language of your own, an unconnected road The people you called your friends, the places you won't go again The decades lost in finding them, you'll have to let them go. But all you ever do is walk away and I know if you'd only go slow |

You were mean to me and broke my heart
now you've gone away but we're apart but I've got a special machine to take me where things turned out differently and you still care I'm in my car I'm in my car I'm taking a ride to somewhere inside where you never left and I never cried at the speed of light in my car. Never comin' back to the world I know where I belong where I'm your girl so I've got fuzzy dice to bring me luck roll me to a better place where we can rock |

You used to slide down the carpeted stairs
or down the bannister you stuttered like a kaleidoscope 'cause you knew too many words you used to make ginger bread houses we used to have taffy pulls Take ecstasy with me, baby take ecstasy with me. You had a black snowmobile we drove out under the northern lights a vodka bottle gave you those raccoon eyes we got beat up just for holding hands Take ecstasy with me, baby take ecstasy with me. |
