life's the same I'm moving in stereo
life's the same except for my shoes
life's the same you're shakin' like tremolo
life's the same it's all inside you

it's so easy to blow up your problems
it's so easy to play up your breakdown
it's so easy to fly through a window
it's so easy to fool with the sound

it's so tough to get up
it's so tough
it's so tough to live up
it's so tough on you

you pitched and I was thrown
second face was never shown
though you hit so hard you know which way to look
oh darlin' oh darlin' didn't you read the book?

and all your nightmares were on fire
and all your lovers they were liars
though you tried my eyes you know which way to look
could you tell me, please tell me, didn't you read the book?

take me now
take me now
take me now

you were starry eyed and pale[?]
you had no reason to unveil
though you tried my eyes, you know which way to look
oh darlin' oh darlin' didn't you read the book?

take me now

from your junkie drawer
you fell onto the floor
uh then got up up for more

I remember the night
uh you blew away
you just couldn't wait
you were weakened with love
and you were closin' the gate

from your fair we dem
your eyes were rough again
I thought I knew you when

I remember the night
uh you blew away
you just couldn't wait
you were weakened with love
and you were closin' the gate

from your liquid sea
your shotgun sympathy
uh then you preached nothin's free

I remember the night
uh you blew away
you just couldn't wait
you were weakened with love
and you were closin' the gate
(heh heh)

She's driving away with the dim lights on
She's making a play and she can't go wrong
She never waits too long
She's winding them down on her clock machine
And she won't give up 'cause she's seventeen
She's a frozen fire
She's my one desire

*And I don't want to hold her down
Don't want to break her crown
When she says, let's go
I like the nightlife baby
She says, let's go

She's laughing inside 'cause they can't refuse
She's so beautiful now, she doesn't wear her shoes
She doesn't like to choose
She's got wonderful eyes and a risque mouth
And when I ask her before, she said she's holding out
She's a frozen fire
She's my one desire

* Repeat

edge of night, distract yourself
obstacles don't work
homogenize
decentralize
it's just a quirk

different ways to see you through
all the same in the end
peculiar star, a-that's who you are

Candy-O, I need you so
Candy-O, I need you so

Candy-O, I need you so

it takes a fast car lady to lead a double life
it takes a slow star lady if you want to do it twice
you take your backseat rumble
take your frontseat wife
takes a fast car lady to lead a double life

it takes a light foot lady to lead a double life
it takes a good book maybe if you want to do it nice
when you idle at the stop light you better get the signal right
light foot lady, you need a double life

well, lift me from the wondermaze
alienation is the craze
and it's all gonna happen to you
you think it's a phase
and it's all gonna happen to you
when you drive in the haze

it takes a freeway lady to lead a double life
it takes some leeway lady if you want to do it twice
neon blinking on the street
everyone is bittersweet
freeway lady, you lead a double life

well, lift me from the wondermaze
alienation is the craze
and it's all gonna happen to you
you think it's a phase
and it's all gonna happen to you
when you drive in the haze
it's all gonna happen to you
(it's all gonna happen to you)
that's right I said
and it's all gonna happen to you
that's right well
gonna? say it to you-oo

well that's right oh?
it's all gonna happen to you-oo, well
I said it's all gonna happen to you-oo-oo yeah
gonna tell ya again, I said
(it's all gonna happen to you) well

*I got a lot on my head
Most of it is you
I got a lot on my head
Can't forget about you

Lock me away where the silly boys go
I'm on top of my nerves, don't you know
Take me apart 'cause I'm out of control
Send me a letter on a midnight scroll

* Repeat

Dance by the window in flamingo pink
Go through the motions in your Romeo mink
Condition's red, disposition's blue
Why am I so attracted to you

* Repeat

Trip down the alleyway, take the back stairs
I know it's good but good isn't fair
That's what you said, flashbulb in your eye
How can I hold you whne you're waving goodbye

* Repeat

one too many times I fell over you
once in a shadow I finally grew
and once in a night I dreamed you were there
I canceled my flight from going nowhere

it's all I can do
to keep waiting for you
it's all I can do
it's all I can do
(it's all I can do)

one too many times I twisted the gate
when I was crazy I thought you were great
I kept my renditions of you on the wall
where holiday romance is nothing at all

it's all I can do
to keep waiting for you
it's all I can do
it's all I can do
(it's all I can do)

you wait in the wing like a Saturday flirt
protecting the judge, you don't want to get hurt
once in a moment it all comes to you
as soon as you get it you want something new

it's all I can do
to keep waiting for you
it's all I can do
it's all I can do
(it's all I can do)

it's all I can do
to keep waiting for you
it's all I can do
it's all I can do
(it's all I can do)

it's all I can do
to keep waiting for you
it's all I can do
it's all I can do
(it's all I can do)
[repeat, fade]

could be you're crossing the fine line
a silly driver, kinda off the wall
you keep it cool when it's t-t-tight
eyes wide open when you start to fall

you go d-dancing in the dim lit club
some pressure cooker crawls up on his knees
flashing sensation like a one on one
stomping around in the jitterbug breeze

oo, how you shake me up and down
when we hit the nightspots on the town
oh

oo, how you shake me up and down
when we hit the nightspots on the town
oh

it's all behind you when you do catch on
you keep your lovers in a penny jar
a real romantic with a sultry stare
you keep on messin' with your blonde, long hair yeah

oo, how you shake me up and down
when we hit the nightspots on the town
oh

(it's just an automatic line)
(it's just an automatic line)
(it's just an automatic line)
(it's just an automatic line)

I can tell that you're wild
and you love their achey smiles
and I know I'm on the list to be kissed

when you're givin' out the name
of the one you want to blame
as the one you want to claim
you'll be on the brink of tears, that's right

could I talk you out of stayin' here tonight?

well I see that you're cute
in your Viarucci suit
and your eyes have seen the shadows that you hide

I could be a little sweet
that would come off very neat
you'd be on the brink of tears, that's right

could I talk you out of stayin' here tonight?

I've been waitin' all this time
somethin's gotta change now
I get the same erratic line

slip, slipaway now
slip, slipaway now
slip, slip, slip, slipaway now

well I see that you're fast
and you're trip will never last
and I know I'm on the list to be missed

it's your sentimental streak
that allows you to be meek
and you're on the brink of tears, that's right

could I talk you out of stayin' here tonight?

I've been waitin' all this time
somethin's gotta change now
I get the same erratic line

oh slip, slipaway now
slip, slipaway now
slip, slip, slip, slipaway now

slip, slipaway now
slip, slipaway now

down at the end of Lonely Street
where no one takes a walk
someone lyin' at your feet
and someone's gettin' off

just gimme some slack, yeah
just gimme some slack
just gimme, slack
that's all I want is slack

the seven floors of walkup
the odor musted cracks
and the peeping keyhole introverts
with the monkeys on their backs

and the rooftops strung with frauleins
the pastel pinned up sails
the eighteen color roses
against your face so pale

a just gimme some slack, that's right
uh gimme some slack
gimme, slack, oo yeah
all I want is slack

I wanna float like Euripides
all visions intact
I'm alright with Fellini fiends
a trippin' over the track

where no one takes a chance
someone's in the cheap light
someone wants to dance
