  • Caressing bent up to the jug again
    With sheathes and pills
    Invading all those stills
    In a hovel of a bed

    I will scream in vain
    "Oh, please Miss Lane
    Leave me with some pain "

    Went walking through this city's neon lights
    In fear of disguising my warping, seething
    Pressure lines, among confidant heirs
    Intangible of price
    Trying so hard to find what? What was right

    I came upon your room it stuck into my head (dark entries)
    We leapt into the bed degrading even lice
    You took delight in taking down
    My shielded pride

    Until exposed became my darker side
    Puckering up and down those avenues of sin
    Too cheap to ride, they're worth a try
    If only for the old times, cold times
    Don't go waving your pretentious love

    He's soliciting on his tan brown brogues (dark entries, dark entries)
    Gyrating through some lonesome devils row (dark entries, dark entries)
    Pinpointing well meaning upper class prey (dark entries, dark entries)
    Of walking money checks possessing holes (dark entries, dark entries)
    He sleekly offers his services (dark entries, dark entries)
    Exploitation of his finer years (dark entries, dark entries)
    Work with loosely woven fabrics (dark entries, dark entries)
    Of lonely office clerks (dark entries, dark entries)
    Any lay suffices his eye (dark entries, dark entries)

    I came upon your room it stuck into my head
    We leapt into the bed degrading even lice
    You took delight in taking down
    My shielded pride
    Until exposed became my darker side

    Puckering up and down some avenue of sin
    Too cheap to ride they're worth a try
    If only for the old times
    Don't go waving your pretentious love
