The last time I saw Richard

Was Detroit in 68

And he told me all romantics

Meet the same fate someday

Cynical and drunk and boring

Someone in some dark cafe

You laugh

He said you think you're immune

Go look at your eyes

They're full of moon

You like roses and kisses

And pretty men to tell you

All those pretty lies pretty lies

When you gonna realise

They're only pretty lies

Only pretty lies just pretty lies

He put a quarter in the Wurlitzer

And he pushed

Three buttons

And the thing began to whirr

And a bar maid came by

In fishnet stockings and a bow tie

And she said Drink up now

It's gettin on time to close

Richard you I said Richard you

you really haven't changed

It's just that now you're romanticizing

Some pain that's in your head

You got tombs in your eyes

But the songs

You punched are dreaming

Listen they sing of love so sweet

Love so sweet

When you gonna get yourself

Back on your feet

Oh and love can be so sweet

Don't you know love can so sweet

Richard got married to a figure skater

And he bought her a dishwasher

And a Coffee percolator

And he drinks at home now

Most nights with the TV on

And all the house lights left up bright

I'm gonna blow this damn candle out

I don't want Nobody

Comin' over to my table

I got nothing to talk to anybody about

All good dreamers

Pass this way some day

Hidin behind bottles in dark cafes

Dark cafes

Only a dark cocoon

Before I get my gorgeous wings

And fly away

Only a phase

These dark cafe days
