Suffocating eyes and fast hellos

and last good-byes

Surround the night of me

Mustache large like smoke from his cigar

Coughs up a joke and laughs a net of sound

Swallowing the pinwheel clowns

Consuming all the women

Like a giant sponge

Snap The waiters animate

Luxuriate like planets whirling 'round the sun

Collapsing next to me

Shouts don't look sad

Things aren't so bad

They're just more wrong than right

His brandy brim voice whispers

Come with me I hold the key

The city's ours tonight

Heys the barmaid slaps her ***

She shrieks her gold teeth flash

With rapturous delight

Earthquaking the sawdust ground

He grabs my arm and out into the famished night

Now two blazing leaves burning up ground

The tiny waltz of a merry go round

Cascading lights for every heartbeat

Tonight we'll sleep with the girls from the streets

Hurry faster don't look back

His coattails snap his laughter's burning in my ears

I ride upon this giant storm

Through rust-red rooms

where shadows breathe from every

Board

The world is up for auction sales

A thousand lies descend

The women's tear-tracked cheeks

Still we'll dance them on and on

We can't stop now

Not now until we reach the dawn

Quick give us your lips

Give us your thighs

Give us your sad and devouring eyes

Cascading tears for every heartbeat

Tonight we'll sleep with the girls from the streets
