Lyrics
The street looked kind of different -
Harsher colours sharper angles
Shops stacked high with stereos and rows of magazines
Smells of coffee, glossy limousines
The sun danced on the chromium
Slant eyes drowning in the light
Lights turned red as elbows jabbed
Voices snarled and luck turned sour
Children screamed! brakes were screeching!
Knees were pumping, ribs were crunching..
Crushing, drowning deeper..
The street looked kind of different
The paving stones were playing cards
And cried out as I skipped from the red to the black
Cracked a joke about the joker, saluted all the kings
Threw a ring to the blackest queen who ushered me away
To the palace in the square where the air's so cold
And it gets so lonely in the night
She whispered sleazy secrets on the couch by the tv
3D visions of a soapflake, trumpets blared, a voice declared:
"Are you feeling dirty?" yes but also very pleased
Heard applause, felt the claws in my back, rocking backwards
Rocking forwards in the groove. the earth moved! the couch moved!
We rolled on the felt, knocked the vases off the shelf..
Watched ourselves in the mirror, like animals like cannibals!
And you ate my ear so I nibbled on your shoulder..
Rolled your tongue up in my hands - I swallowed it whole
Flesh decreasing by the second until all that remained
Were the eyes, mine brown, yours black. tilted back, we stared
At the hollywood sunset
Brighter now... it looks so pretty tonight
The light in my little girl's eyes..
