When deers come close to man, it's out of fear and not
for fun
I knew by the age of ten there wasn't a god under the sun
Your drives and intentions are set
They're just as good as intentions can get
After the fall of human sciences, there was a need for
answers
The girls of the 1990s formed an army of belly dancers
They defeated the men
They will never be the same again
Keep me close to you
I'm strayin' as you can see
There's nothing strange about what I do
but it's funny how you do it with me
They gave me two left hands, an awkward spirit and a
clumsy mind
But a circus freak knows where it stands and I like to
show the things I find
Daylight on the windows of a building
And can you see my little wounds are bleeding?
Keep me close to you
I'm strayin' as you can see
There's nothing strange about what I do
but it's funny how you do it with me
and it's funny how you do it with me

Some sweet perversion on the telephone line
I've been waiting for such a very long time
For her to be free
The evening was nice but there were too many people
And all my thoughts, so depraved and evil
Oh Lord, what would she say?
She says, "Well, I'm afraid, it's not to be
You're a sweet guy but you ain't for me
I live my life in a different way
You know those things you're thinking are a big mistake"
We stayed out late 'til morning came
I said, "I'll take you home if it's all the same"
Her indifference fills the room
Some weak seduction on the morning after
How it slays me every time I touch her
But she just wants to sleep
She says, "How long 'til you understand
The last thing that I need is another man
Didn't you promise to give it a rest?
Right now I need a lover like a hole, like a hole in the chest"
Oh well, can't blame a guy for tryin'
And I'm smiling even though I'm dying
To know the love she says will never be
One last conversation at the crowded bar
And even though the music is louder by far
I hear every word she says
She says, "Don't take it bad, don't worry about it
You're friend of mine and there's no way around it
Sometimes you get there early, sometimes you get there late
But even if you had a chance you never, never knew the game"
Little hands, open smile, I'm glad we got to talk for a while
I feel okay, yeah I'm feeling better, I'll let it go but I'll never say never

My baby's gone like a flame
Put out by the rain
Water down the drain
Little face, little feet, little hands in my mind
Where I'm crying all the time
Where I'm crying all the time
Little face, little feet, little hands in my brain
Driving me insane
Driving me insane
Little face, little feet, little hands not around
No more little sounds
No more little sound
My baby's gone like a flame
Put out by the rain

When I sit beside you my heartbeats, beats, please be
my baby
I see that I'm turning into skin and
bon, they rattle in the wind.
I lie awake in the din and moan
moan
moan
Down by the shoreline, look out
to sea, find a small island. There,
come new years day, we'll
sail away, we'll both hid
and play.
In her room and on her bed. Dark,
darkly darker, through the halls
I follow her.
Grey and gloom! This room turns up.
I can't sit still, I must get out!
Out! Up-Up! Out-Out! Up! Out!
Dark, darkly darker, through the halls
I follow her.
Down by the shoreline, look out
to sea, find a small island. There,
come new years day, we'll
sail away, we'll both hid
and play.
Hospitals!
And treatments!
Pills!
My heart beats, beats.
Bleep-bleep' machines squeak.
Seassick and wired to walls.
Through these bloody halls, we
watch fleshy jaws in yellowed
gauze looming in the darker doors.
New years day, I lay awake. Behind a curtain,
a voice did quake, said 'take me,
take me, takeme, take me home,
home!' home.
Down by the shoreline,
Look out to sea, find a small island
There, come new years day, we'll sail away

Let us walk, you and me
Let us sail over seas
We can buy little pearls
And send home little notes
To tell them we're okay
And we're still far away
We'll return when the wind
Turns and blows us back to our friends and our homes
We watch the sun go down
On this beautiful place we found
Leading the stars above
And all we can feel is love
Nana nana nana nana nana
Nana nana nana nana nana
Nana nana...
Let us walk, you and me
Let us sail over seas
We can buy little pearls
And send home little notes
To tell them we're okay
And we're still far away
We'll return when the wind
Turns and blows us back to our friends and our homes
Nana nana nana nana nana
Nana nana nana nana nana
Nana nana...
We watch the sun go down
On this beautiful place we found
Leading the stars above
