If I could love   The music in the air   If I could go   Just dancing everywhere   If I was the one   Who fights to live   With never care      And in green parks   I'd run until I'm light   And in pictures   I'd be the best upright   And in every street   Someone was there   To hold me tight      But I never go   (I don't even try to)   Where the others go   (I don't even cry for)   And the taste I find   No one else will find      No one is there   When I climb the stairs   And no one ever   Is watching my movies   The movies I live in   No one on the sidewalk   The side that I step on   Nobody will order   My sweet pies   And so   For this helluva drink   I'm alone   With me, me      And I go home   To meet my newest chair   And I whistle   Like something's in the air   Then the elevator doors unfold   And there was you      All around you   Is smelling something new   All about you   Is shining into view   When I turned the lights   And shut the door   Then there was you      See my furniture   (Try my dusty pillows)   See my window view   (That's a bat who dances)   These are my old stamps   I collect these things      But I forgot   To introduce myself   I'm just the guy   From the oldest of buildings   The emptiest party   The strangest of clothing   The top of the listings   Of no matches ever   But still burning deep   To be tempted to learn so   Oh, please won't you sit
