Bright and Shiny - Doris Day & Frankie Laine

I was dreaming of you You were in my dreams My old pal looks shaky with a cigarette in his hand Salt and pepper sprinkled on his face and on his head Looks like he might start crying, is it just something that I said? Let's take a walk around the block This fleeting feeling is infinite Around here we've been wondering what tomorrow's gonna sing On the final field recording from the loud Anthropocene I've seen the sparkle of the diamonds on the watch of the emcee It's not keeping time, just shining It's not the first time you said, one and done And oh my god, and oh my god Stood in your prom dress all covered in blood What you sacrificed will never be enough This whole town looks empty but we knew it wouldn't last Behind bulletproof windows they're still wiring the cash Whatever they could scrape up, whatever that they had There's a lot of mouths to feed through this famine This room seems even smaller now than I remember it Hung mirrors on the walls and the ceiling There's no disguising it There's no denying it This little box fits everything there is It's not the first dance you said, one and done And oh my god, baby oh my god Came to the wedding you were looking rough Watch the masochists all celebrating love

Got to keep on going like it ain't the end Got to change like your life is depending on it It's a long time coming, and we're taking it in What a wild ruse See the cold moon hanging like the pennant above Too many ice cream socials with the promise ring love Had to shoot all the targets at the carnival 'cause You needed hard proof I read God is dead I shed some tears for him But I swear on His grave, I'll never do it again And I screamed when I realized what was happening That I had good news I'll grieve What I have lost Forgive the firing squad How imperfect life can be Now all I can do Is just dance on through See the Coast Guard coming, save the drowning men Out by Catalina island, they abandoned ship All the news trucks piled up with starts and fits Coming from Point Doom It's the last ditch effort, makes no sense to try Put more gas on the tires, put more wood on the fire Warm your hands up 'cause we'll probably be here a while If you want the honest truth Don't turn Your cheek away Please, don't resuscitate Make an example out of me 'Cause all I can do Is just dance on through And sing Got a diamond cold heart, and I got it in spades With the walkman fading like an audio slave It's a self-induced seizure like a kid at a rave Smeared in Day-Glo paint And all the popular prophets want to take me to task Well, it's just your opinion, so I'd rather not ask But I got me a cane, and I'm spinning it fast As the band plays Don't read My worried mind That smoking gun Passing through time I'm yours You can decide What fate I'll have On the firing line Because now all I can do Is just dance on through And sing With every note there is With every note there was Each passing chord There was only love (With every) With every step there is With every step that was Spinning around There was only love Only love Only love It was a slow dance for us There was only love

One, two, three One, two, three Out of the blue Saw you fall down the stairs It was me pushing you Innocence Tell me the truth Is that blood on your hands Or just chocolate and fruit? Mm, mm, mm That isn't what I heard This world went down in flames and man-made caves An island of lepers That's no kind of place to stay Came into view I just fly through the light Like the dust in the room Reminisce Walk through the zoo And I sweep up my dreams With a pan and a broom, mm, mm, mm Not sure what comes after Life just went down a drain of rainy days Way up in the rafters I float where the organ fades If it's not all that important then why make a fuss at all? Just whistle a tune While you're digging a grave On a hot afternoon Happiness Left here too soon With a map and a bag On a plane to Tulum, mm, mm, mm Best medicine's laughter What a practical joke we have to play Let's wait for the rapture Man the phone banks, we're talking snakes If it's not all that important then why make a fuss at all? Magaloreans under control

Once I had a secret love That lived within the heart of me All too soon my secret love Became impatient to be free So I told a friendly star The way that dreamers often do Just how wonderful you are And why I'm so in love with you Now I shout it from the highest hills Even told the golden daffodils At last, my heart's an open door And my secret love's no secret anymore Now I shout it from the highest hills Even told the golden daffodils At last, my heart's an open door And my secret love's no secret anymore
