Lord, that's a lucky card.
We'll celebrate it, when we've made it,
I'll jump all over your yard,
I'll jump all over your yard, I'll jump all over...
I don't know what hit me but I'm seeing Stars.
This comic book life is like being on Mar

Sometimes these hands get so clumsy
That I drop things and people laugh
Sometimes these hands seem so graceful
I can see them signin' autographs

She loved a man who was sweet and lean
With a Madison Avenue scar
And wherever he went to get away
He took their luxury car
Where can you run
When the old house shakes
And it's too hot to make any plans
The sidewalks crack, and the whole world quakes
'Cause you kn

I know you're a gamester
But I'm the queen of spades
The ruler of hearts
I shoot for the moon
I take my tricks right from the start
I'm a sucker for love
A joker running wild
My heart it can break, ooh it can break
Frail as a child

Whatever it is, it is

I wish I was a willow
And I could sway to the music in the wind
And I wish I was a lover
I wouldn't need my costumes and pretend
I wish I was a mountain
I'd pass boldly through the clouds and never end
I wish I was a soft refrain
When the lights were out I'd play

And I could sway to the music in the wind
And I wish I was a lover
I wouldn't need my costumes and pretend
I wish I was a mountain
I'd pass boldly thru the clouds and never end
I wish I was a soft refrain
When the lights were out I'd play
and be your friend

Oh mommy mommy
Oh mommy mommy, yeah
I stood too near the gaslight
And I cried
The dirty city mist
Had seeped too deep inside
It took me on some kind
Of heady ride
They told me Charlie Parker died
And I don't want the night to end
And I don't want the night

Oh, majesty of life, please don't escape me.
It's getting later and the windowshades are drawn.
I'm not the best that I could be
But I'm trying to wait and see
What can happen to a girl in her hometown

Chorus:
Oh, the wilderness
The unmade bed
The aching

There'll be no show tonight
No the music won't sound right
The audience is being polite
And I can't act tonight
Don't make me
And I can't act tonight
I guess I missed my cue, yeah
When he said we were through
He walked off stage
With some ingenue
And all I

You make me laugh
Cause your eyes, they light the night
They look right though me.
You bashful boy
You're hiding something sweet
Please give it to me, yeah, to me.

Oh, oh...
Talk to me some more
You don't have to go
You're the Poetry Man

He's got front wheel drive, lots of money, but he don't scare me
He's the trigger, I'm the gun--he just does not scare me

Chorus: Man, you know he's so uptown, I'm so earthbound
He sez "Ride the elevator! Do it now or do it later"
How far we fall when we get off the wall, and<

i got the blues from my baby down by the san francisco bay
an oceanliner took him so far away
well i didn't mean to treat him so bad
y'know he was the best friend that i've ever had
y'know when he said goodbye

and i've got to lay down and die

Lady Luck and Four Leaf Clovers
won't ease this hurt I feel all
over.
My life was one special occasion
'til your leavin' dampened the situation.

Tell me what you're feeling and what it all means.
You could be defensive or open up and share your dreams.
You can keep right on denying or face me and start crying.
'cause this time, when I reach out, it may be my last try.
Ooohh baby, I want something real one time before

We see these manifold expressions
All at once upon his face
And that's when we make our confession
He has conquered inner space

Take your children home
I am one, i am one
Take your children and tell them
All the peoples of the world
Should be as one

Thank you but I'm just looking
Shopping endless malls, waiting for phone calls
It rings--it's you--all right--the middle of the night
I'm the forgotten fledgling
Grounded by broken song, just a sparrow of
The blues, till you come by--the middle of the night
Trapped inside
