Love + Rockets

oh, oh, i.
just don't know why.
i just can't live.
without your smile.

and maybe that's the reason.
why i'm feeling so blue.
and maybe that's the reason.
i can't get closer to you.

oh, dave, dan, and kev.
oh, love and rockets.

oh, oh.
repeat.

oh, little lady.
oh, come sit on my lap.
oh, you're getting so tall and awfully heavy these days.
oh, i just can't lift you anymore, due to my bad back.
oh, i'm sorry, don't cry.

don't cry little girl.
dream on.
your dreams are beautiful.
you dream of the city.
but look where you are!
look, stuck, like a moth drawn to the flame.
the ant in the pudding.

such a sweet trap, the city is.
sweet, sweet, you go there only to get
sucked in
to the streets, until your sense of direction fails and you're left
whirlpooling
down, down, down to where people just arn't friendly anymore

but you can't be blamed
for your big city dreaming
because you don't know better
it makes you feel so alive
so alive and refreshed
and maybe so huge you find yourself
wanting to SCREAM!

scream to the big
the huge
scream to the streets
the alleys
scream to the people
the scum
scream to the world
the city


so big. you can't even imagine.
