It's so quiet on these windswept days   The city lights look golden rays   The sunlight on a subway track   So you're mad again   If you like, I'll take it back      They're just your feelings   I wasn't looking at her eyes   Oh, do you mean it?      It's so lonesome in this happenstance   If you asked me, yes, I'd like to dance   Just show me your blood-covered hand   A perfumed dress is more than I can stand      And you approach me   With your hollow heart in hand   And you tell me:      It's not civilised   It's not fair to me   The blues, the greys   The olive greens   I'll take you far away from me   The girls in their summer dress, see?   Though you don't notice   They all look back at me   Is this on purpose?      Oh, no, no, no!   Oh, no, no, no!   Oh, no, no, no!      May I offer you this one olive branch?   It's not as though you're always so keyed   And we're both just the victims of circumstance   Do you understand, do you know what I mean?      Oh, no, no, no!   Oh, no, no, no!   Oh, no, no, no!   Oh, no, no, no!      (No, no, no)      I'm a husband first, I'm a childless curse   I'm a faithful man, with a faceless thirst   I'll stay with you, but please don't side   Tried to explain, but you cry and cry and cry      And you hate me when I ask the reason why   You'll trade me a dollar for some sense   But don't blame me, I was only making sense   Oh, I'm so sorry, I was only making sense
