[05:22.00]Now the weight of the books has crushed my delicate fingers
[05:22.00]I'm not trying to be Paganini any more
[05:22.00]All I dream about these days is s*x with strangers
[05:22.00]Rats in spats and bowler hats on the dance floor
[05:22.00]Some days my head is the turret for a machine gun
[05:22.00]And the world is torn apart by a hail of words
[05:22.00]In tongues of fire the rookie priest reads the lesson
[05:22.00]And I would like to quote him chapter and verse
[05:22.00]He said"I'm in love with everyone who knows it's hard
[05:22.00]To build a way of seeing
[05:22.00]Who knows that nevertheless that's the only way
[05:22.00]To flame into being"
[05:22.00]I was always the sucker that got led into temptation
[05:22.00]When I didn't have a job couldn't pay the bills
[05:22.00]But stretch me out on your tasteless warehouse sofa
[05:22.00]And there or somewhere else I'll do your will
[05:22.00]Maybe I'll come out clubbing on a rainy night in Soho
[05:22.00]So many clichés have sentimental truth don't you find
[05:22.00]You be Judith and I'll be Holofernes
[05:22.00]Living with a beautiful woman
[05:22.00]I'm jealous all the time
[05:22.00]And I'm in love with everyone who knows it's hard
[05:22.00]To build a way of seeing
[05:22.00]Who knows that nevertheless that's the only way
[05:22.00]To flame into being
[05:22.00]So take me to the people who'll gratify my ego
[05:22.00]Because under the swagger I don't know who I am
[05:22.00]Caesar beware the ides of adolescence
[05:22.00]Here comes some new Brutus in black 501s ha
[05:22.00]From the pores of his skin you can smell the cappuchino
[05:22.00]And his avaricious eyes are shining like the sun
[05:22.00]Black bat night come down from your roost now
[05:22.00]And cover me with your wings
[05:22.00]Under my eyes I shall wear your engagement ring
[05:22.00]And I'm in love with everyone who knows it's hard
[05:22.00]To build a way of seeing
[05:22.00]Who knows that nevertheless that's the only way
[05:22.00]To flame into being
[05:22.00]But as soon as I decide that this is not the place for me to stay
[05:22.00]I feel currents that buoy me up and bear me away
[05:22.00]And burglars or writers will carry this love away too
[05:22.00]Don't regret this just forget me let me release you
[05:22.00]And as soon as I decide I'm more fertile or just more sober
[05:22.00]Maybe I'll think of you like a touching American film
[05:22.00]How I left you washing the face of our baby
[05:22.00]How whenever I live alone
[05:22.00]My hands and eyes work again
[05:22.00]And I'm in love with everyone who knows it's hard
[05:22.00]To build a way of seeing
[05:22.00]Who knows that nevertheless that's the only way
[05:22.00]To flame into being
[05:22.00]Yeah I'm in love with everyone who knows it's hard
[05:22.00]To build a way of seeing
[05:22.00]Who knows that nevertheless that's the only way
[05:22.00]To flame into being
