歌曲歌詞
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 realize 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 haven't really changed I said
It's just that
Now you're romanticizing some pain thats 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 love can be so sweet
Love 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 T V on
And all the house lights left up bright
I'm gonna blow this d**n candle out
I don't want nobody comin' over to my table
And got none 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
