Black Romance Lyrics

Black Romance lyrics

Everything you ever wanted

Is passing with the driving rain

I died like a salamander

On my heart heavy like a chain

I been waiting here at the Uptown theater

And it's all becoming clear that



Refrain:

It's too much head

And not much heart

But if you think about the end

It might never get started

It's a black romance

But it's one more chance

And if you fight out of spite

You know that just ain't right



Everyone you ever cared for

Is staying at the big hotel

I'm in the lobby with my hobby

And my rags and my bags

And the desk man rings a bell



I put a sign on my brain 

that said, "Do not disturb"

But the maids keep walking in

Then they make these beds

Inside my head

I wish they'd throw everything out instead



Repeat Refrain



Little girl go out dancing

Little girl dance all night

Little girl dance to a love that's pure

[. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ?]

I could hold your soul before a 1000 watt bulb

It wouldn't shine back at me



Repeat Refrain
