The Last Time I Saw Him

He put a quarter in the wurlitzer
He pushed 3 buttons and the thing began to whir
And a barmaid came by in fishnet stockings in a bowtie and she said
Drink up now
It’s gettin on time for close
Richard got married to a figure skater
Bought her a dishwasher and a coffee percolator
Drinks at home most nights with the TV on
And all the house lights left up bright
Now the last time I saw him
It was detroit in 68 when he told me
All romantics meet the same fate and he told me
You’ll be cynical and drunk
Some day
And boring someone in some dark
Boring someone in some dark cafe
HA

Pretty lies
All those pretty lies you like
You like roses and kisses and
Pretty men to tell you all those pretty lies
Richard you haven’t really changed i said
Richard you haven’t really changed I said
It’s just that now you’re romanticizing some pain
That’s in your head, Richard
You haven’t really changed
You’ve got tombs in your eyes
Pretty lies
I’m gonna blow this damn candle out
I’m gonna blow this damn candle out
I don’t want nobody comin over to my table
I ain’t got nothin to talk to anybody about
I’m gonna blow this damn candle out
You’ve got tombs in your eyes
And fly away
Only a phase, and then I’ll
Fly away
It’s only a dark cocoon
Before I get my gorgeous
wings and fly away
You’ve got tombs in your eyes

Only a phase
Hidin’ behind bottles in dark cafes
Dark cafes / Only a phase
Only a dark cocoon before I get my gorgeous wings and fly away
All good dreamers pass this way someday
Hidin’ down bottles in dark cafes
Dark cafes / Only a phase
Only a dark cocoon before I get my gorgeous wings and fly away
Love so sweet
But the songs you punch are dreaming, listen
They sing of love so sweet
Love so sweet
When ya gonna get yourself back on your feet?
Only a dark cocoon before I get my wings
