Venus (de Milo) Lyrics

Venus (de Milo) lyrics

(Verlaine)

Tight toy night, streets were so bright.

The world looked
so thin and between my bones and skin

there stood another person who was a
little surprised

to be face to face with a world so alive.

I
fell.



Didja feel low? No, not at all. Huh???



I fell
right into the Arms of Venus de Milo.

I stood up, walked out of the Arms
of Venus de Milo.

You know it's all like some new kind of drug.

My
senses are sharp and my hands are like gloves.

Broadway looked so
medieval -

it seemed to flap, like little pages:

I fell sideways
laughing with a friend from many stages.

How l felt.

Suddenly my
eyes went so soft and shaky.

I knew there was pain but pain is not
aching.

Then Richie, Richie said:

"Hey man let's dress up like
cops

Think of what we could do!"

But something, something said "you
better not."

And I fell.
