Biting cold, thrashing, scolding
Drown me under our street
Perfect hips, perfect tits she was
Perfect lips, pieces of your heart
Splattered on the cliff.
And so the shattering shards of glass fell
And glistened this way and that
But she would say I won't find my way through the plaster
I'm an empty hourglass in the sand.
Though I was equipped with a rainship
And a fireship and a starship, all come to dance
No one told me the end of the line
Could be only emptiness.
Oh Trudy, Trudy
You touch the untouchable
Because this earth is no fun at all
And now when Cyndi plays at the disco
I don’t see you on the floor.
You say it's a dark, dark world
And not to put yourself out there
Or go heading off the train tracks
Oh, no.
No I'm not like you'da thought
Forget the name you call me on
Was it simple as it served
The memory?
Gather round all you young, heed my warning
When you're young and you're lovely, there are voices
That pull you down like some malady inside us
But not yours and not mine in her likeness.
Blame it on the sun
Blame it on the moon
Blame it on the progress
Blame it on the cycle
Blame it on the stars.
And it's something quite unfair
Even systematically
That she wants the same success
But she's lacking in the real thing.
And if I stray from the light
It'll be only for a little while
Oh, for a little while.
Yeah if I stray outta line
Only for a little while
Oh, for a little while.
Yeah if I fade outta reach
Only for a couple beats
Oh, for a couple beats.
Don't fade
Don't fade.
I love you, starlight
Hold tight, when you're seeing red
But it's alright, put my head under the bed
And singing me to sleep, she was.
