She's so swishy in her satin and tat In her frock coat And bipperty-bopperty hat Oh God, I could do better than that Why didn't I say, Why didn't I say, no, no, no And I gaze at my hotel wall I'm up on the eleventh floor And I'm watching the cruisers

When the fever comes To take care of my soul And there's no one else Yes there's no one else Open up your eyes I've got nothing to say There's no one else but us In this little place Moving like the rain

When you wanna be a movie star (c'mon) Play it right and drive a Volvo car (c'mon) Pick a fight at an airport bar Gimmie gimmie some of that vampire money c'mon One, two, three, four Everybody party 'til the gasman comes Sparkle like Bowie in the morning

I'm a raging fire, you're my hearts desire I'm a raging fire, your my hearts desire Nights falling on me like a big black coat Staring through the window at the empty cold Thick white smoke rolling off my lips My chest feeling heavy like a cannon ball

As the cafe was closing On a warm summer night And Cathy was cleaning the spoons The radio played the hit parade And I hummed a long with the tune She asked me to change the station Said the song just drove her insane But it weren't just the music playing

Forget about the price tag It's not about the money, money, money We don't need your money, money, money We just wanna make the world dance Wanna make the world dance Ain't about the ha cha-ching cha-ching Ain't about the yeah ba-bling ba-bling Everybody

Got to write a classic Got to write it in an attic Baby, I'm an addict now An addict for your love And it's not what I mean I mean it's not what it seems I just keep living for dreams I was a stray boy And you was my best toy

If it don't matter to you, it don't matter to me, woah baby If it don't matter to you, it don't matter to me, woah no no no Bring it on down, bring it on down to me Woah baby, woah baby Yeah yeah yeah yeah Everyday people like you And me just wanna live

All day long Bangin' my head against the wall All day long, 'til we're dead and gone And it's all and it's all and it's all day long 'Til we're dead and gone Grow up, be a winner Keep on hangin' on Stuck here 'til I'm gone Boys still throwin' stones

Flashing light years Conveying my I see tapestry Black before and behind us Nature might remind us Fear for fear but where time lives Secretly with those eyelids All for one with one iris My swaying tie That's way inside
