I feel icy I feel cold I feel old Is there something there behind me? I'm sublime I feel empty I feel dark I remark I am mesmerised By my own beat Like a heartbeat (In it's own beat)

There's a black cat down on the quayside. Ship's lights, green eyes glowing in the dark. Two young cops handing out a beating: Know how to hurt and leave no mark. Down in the half-lit bar of the hotel There's a call for the last round of the day. Push back the stool, take that elevator ride. Fall in bed and kick my shoes away. Rocks on the road. Can't sleep through the wild sound of the city. Hear a car full of young boys heading for a fight. Long distance telephone keeps ringing out engaged: Wonder who you're talking with tonight. Who you talking with tonight? Rocks on the road. Tired plumbing wakes me in the morning. Shower runs hot, runs cold playing with me. Well, I'm up for the down side, life's a bitch And all that stuff: So come and shake some apples from my tree. Have to pay for my minibar madness. Itemised phone bill overload. Well now, how about some heavy rolling? Move these rocks on the road. Crumbs on the breakfast table. And a million other little things to spoil my day. Now how about a little light music To chase it all away? To chase it all away. There's a black cat down on the quayside. Ship's lights, green eyes glowing in the dark. Two young cops handing out a beating: Know how to hurt and leave no mark. Down in the half-lit bar of the hotel There's a call for the last round of the day. Push back the stool, take that elevator ride. Fall in bed and kick my shoes away. Kick my shoes away, kick my shoes away. Rocks on the road.

Winds howled, rains spit down. All these nights playing precious games. Cheap hotel in some seaboard town Closed down for the winter and whispered names. Puppy-dog waves on a big moon sea Snapped our heels half-heartedly. How come you know better than me that this is not love? No, this is not love. Empty drugstore, postcards freeze Sunburst images of summers gone. Think I see us in these promenade days Before we learned October's song. Out on the headland, one gale-whipped tree - Curious, head bent to see. How come you know better than me that this is not love? No, this is not love. This is not love, yeah. How come you know better than me, Well, how come you know better than me. So how come you know better than me that this is not love? This is not love. Down to the sad south, smoky plumes Mark that real world city home. Broken spells and silent gloom Ooze from that concrete honeycomb. Puppy-dog waves on a big moon sea Snapped our heels half-heartedly. And how come you know better than me that this is not love? No, this is not love. No, this is not love. This is not love, this is not love, this is not love.

No blind spots in the leopard's eyes Can only help to jeopardise The lives of lambs The shepherd cries An outdoor life for a silverfish Eternal dust Less ticklish than the clean room A houseguest's wish He lies on his side, is he trying to hide? In fact it's the earth, which he's known since birth He lies on his side, is he trying to hide? In fact it's the earth, which he's known since birth Face worker, a serpentine miner A roof falls An underliner of leaf structure The egg timer He lies on his side, is he trying to hide?
