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 drivers door    There was 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 light 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 in to 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
