I used to come here to think   I used to watch the crowds of animals and clowns   spitting shortwave, dripping ink   half a worry here, half a note there      you looked so beautiful   Anita Ekberg in the fountain   such a spell on you   crashing wildly through the waltz      any other time but now   when I'm looking in, not out   any other time your tongue would fill my mouth   I was wrong to try   but I thought I'd find   my reflection in your eyes      but now I come here to be seen   my usual table here at the bottom of the stairs   they keep their steely eyes on me   half a wonder here, half a glance there      you look so beautiful   Anita Ekberg in the fountain   nature's chemicals   roundly wound up in the warmth      any other time but now   when I'm looking in, not out   any other time your tongue would fill my mouth   I was wrong to try   but I thought I'd find   my reflection in your eyes
