deep in my eyes, what do you see? deep in my sighs, listen to me

when I emerge from B minor or A, five o’clock diner calls I’m on my way

the date is january 26th

susan longs to live by the sea, she’s through with competition

love is passé in this day and age, how can we expect it to grow?

the ship is sort of sinking so let’s start drinking before we start thinking, is this the life?

how can you make someone take off and fly?

anticipate the pain, the pain, the pain, the pain, the pain

margaret, lisa, david, susie, stephen, joe and sam, and elsa the bill collector’s dream who still is on the lam

let’s find a chair where we can sit and talk, or get some fresh air maybe we could take a walk

why does it take an accident? before the truth gets through to us

seems like I’m in for a twister, I don’t see a rainbow do you

don’t freak out, don’t strike out, can’t fight it like city hall

nine a.m. went to rehearse by some stairs, mike couldn’t sing but I said no one cares

clear the runway, make another pass, try one more approach before you’re out of gas

no more noxious fumes from gas heaters that are illegal or will blow up while you are sleeping

deep dark velvet hugs your silhouette, black silk stockings you’re my juliet

shower’s in the kitchen, there might be some soap, dishes in the sink, brush your teeth if you can cope

stop the clock, take time out, time to regroup before you lose the bout

fear or love baby? don’t say the answer, actions speak louder than words
