The Last Time (I Committed Suicide) - Indio Saravanja

The last time I saw Richard was Detroit in 68 And he told me, "All romantics meet the same fate Some day, cynical and drunk and boring Someone in some dark cafe" "You laugh", he said, "You think you're immune Go look at your eyes, they're full of moon You like roses and kisses and pretty men to tell you All those pretty lies, pretty lies When you gonna realise they're only pretty lies? Only pretty lies, just pretty lies" He put a quarter in the wurlitzer, and he pushed Three buttons and the thing began to whirl And a barman came by in fishnet stockings and a bow tie And she said, "Drink up now, it's getting on time to close" "Richard, you haven't really changed", I said It's just that now you're romanticising some pain that's in your head You've got tombs in your eyes, but the songs You punched are dreaming Listen, they sing of love so sweet, love so sweet When you gonna get yourself back on your feet? Oh, and love can be so sweet, love so sweet Richard got married to a figure skater And he bought her a dish washer and a coffee percolator And he drinks at home now most nights with the TV on And all the house lights left up bright I'm gonna blow this damn candle out I don't want nobody coming over to my table I've got nothing to talk to anybody about All good dreamers pass this way some day Hiding behind bottles in dark cafes, dark cafes Only a dark cocoon before I get my gorgeous wings and fly away Only a phase, these dark cafe days

Thought we both understood Don't call me up I'm good Sometimes I wish you would Oh yeah Feels like a life ago One hundred nights alone Why does it hurt this slow Mhm yeah but you didn't wanna say How you really really felt I really didn't know if I was gonna stay You didn't wanna say How you really really felt I really didn't know if I was gonna stay But I remember You and me, you and me Touching on some mystery All the emotions come back If we doing You and me, you and me Just repeating history Only the good, nothing bad Promise not to get stuck on All the things that broke us down Look at us getting it right First dance for the last time Promising to do better Make it worth all the battles Look at us getting it right First kiss for the last time Break ties for the right reasons I'd sign for the whole season You go and get your freedom Go on and get it, baby I tried to keep my distance Get you outta my system That part maybe I'm missing Oh baby, you didn't wanna say How you really, really felt I really didn't know if I was gonna stay You didn't wanna say How you really, really felt I really didn't know if I was gonna stay But I remember You and me, you and me Touching on some mystery All the emotions come back If we doing You and me, you and me Just repeating history Only the good, nothing bad Promise not to get stuck on All the things that broke us down Look at us getting it right First dance for the last time Promising to do better Make it worth all the battles Look at us getting it right First kiss for the last time For the last time For the last time For the last time For the last time For the last time
