In Hong Kong city  At a chowder stand down from Kowloon  Met a junkie into syncronicity  He'd made all the phases of the spoon  He said mister I am able  To map the Cairo water table  But nowhere on my charts  Does it say how to mend a heart    In old Genoa  Behind some dump truck driver's door  There as a lady who was dressed up  Like Marlene before the war  Opinion held that she was ice  Oh but you could glimpse paradise  If you leaned close in the dark  And you told her how to mend a heart    Wait for all the lights,  All the lights in town to go out,  Avoid looking in the mirror  Turn the car and go south  Follow the Pole Star  Until she changes her petticoat  Check into a desert motel  And let the dam in the waters go broke    Some nameless project  Out by the twentieth zone  We got a leaper gonna jump for it  He's paid about all he was owing  He said I'm telling you the truth  I would not be on this roof  If I hadn't seen some kissing in the park  Or known how to mend a heart.
