Hey, baby, if you’re feelin’ down I know what’s good for you all day Are you worried what your friends see, Will it ruin your reputation lovin’ me?

I’m gonna tell the world, you’re a dirty little girl Someone grab that bitch by the ears Rub her down scrub her back And turn her inside out Cause I bet she hasn’t had a bath in years Here’s my own belief about all the dirty girls That you have to clean the oyster to find the pearl And like rags that belong to you I belong to myself So don’t show up around here till your social worker’s helped ---

I don’t want you to be high I don’t want you to be down Don’t want to tell you no lie Just want you to be around Please come right up to my ears You will be able to hear what I say Don’t want you out in my world Just you be my backstreet girl Please don’t be part of my life Please keep yourself to yourself Please don’t you bother my wife That way you won’t get no hell Don’t try to ride on my horse You’re rather common and coarse anyway Don’t want you out in my world Just you be my backstreet girl Please don’t you call me at home Please don’t come knocking at night Please never ring on the phone Your manners are never quite right Please take the favors I grant Curtsy and look nonchalant, just for me Don’t want you part of my world Just you be my backstreet girl ---

Now laying here in the dark, you’re like an angel on my chest Just another tramp of hearts crying tears of faithlessness Remember all the movies, Terry, we’d go see Trying to learn how to walk like the heroes we thought we had to be Well after all this time to find we’re just like all the rest Stranded in the park and forced to confess To hiding on the backstreets, hiding on the backstreets Well we swore forever friends, hey! On the backstreets until the end Uh, uh, uh Hiding on the backstreets, hiding on the backstreets Hiding on the backstreets, hiding on the backstreets Hiding on the backstreets, hiding on the backstreets Hiding on the backstreets, hiding on the backstreets Hiding on the backstreets, hiding on the backstreets Hiding on the backstreets, hiding on the backstreets Hiding on the backstreets, hiding on the backstreets Hiding on the backstreets, hiding on the backstreets Hiding on the backstreets, hiding on the backstreets It’s alright To go hiding on the backstreets tonight Hiding on the backstreets, hiding on the backstreets Hiding on the backstreets, hiding on the backstreets Hiding on the backstreets, hiding on the backstreets Hiding on the backstreets Whoah! Hey! Whoahhh! Hey! Hey, hey, hey Yeah, yeah Whoah, oh, oh Whoo, ooh Ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooooh ---

Baby I think tonight We can take what was wrong to make it right Baby it’s all I know That you’re half of the flesh and blood makes me whole Need you so Take these broken wings And learn to fly again, learn to live so free And when we hear the voices sing The book of love will open up and let us in (Let us in…let us in…) ---

Wide-angle watcher On life’s ancient tales, Steeped in the history of London. Green and grey washes In a wispy white veil Mist in the streets of Westminster. Wistful and weathered, The pride still prevails, Alive in the streets of the city. Are they oblivious To this quality? A quality Of light unique to Every city’s streets. Pavements may teem with intense energy, But the city is calm in this violent sea. ---

All the trees have fallen, the soil is scorched and dry I can’t respire, a storm of fire is raging in the sky Where is all the wildlife? Extinct from pole to pole The hunt for skin, a deadly sin Took it’s heavy toll The seas are red, the skies are grim The soil is filled with graves The Earth is dead, the sun is dim Listen to the waves We befoul the air and burn a hole in the sky Deadly rays from outer space cause our race to die Standing at the crossroads, a choice of life and death We’ll take more care and clear the air Or take our final breath The seas are red, the skies are grim The soil is filled with graves The Earth is dead, the sun is dim Listen to the waves ---

What good is the dawn That grows into day The sunset at night Or living this way For I have the warmth of the sun Within me at night The love of my life She left me one day I cried when she said “I don’t feel the same way” Still I have the warmth of the sun Within me tonight I’ll dreams of her arms And though they’re not real Just like she’s still there The way that I feel My love’s like the warmth of the sun It won’t ever die ---

She left me for another; It’s a common tale, but true. A sadder man, but wiser now, I sing these words to you. ---

We told our tales as we sat under morning’s sleepy sky With all the colours of the sunrise shining in our eyes One, then another, with a story of yesterday’s lives Or of a lover who had gone in a moment of strife No thought of sleep ever dwells upon the wise man’s mind Some task or audience stealing every moment of his time Thus we have learned to live While mortal men stand waiting to die How can we do what must be done in just one short life ---

We stood in the windy city, The gypsy boy and I. We slept on the breeze in the midnight With the rain droppin’ tears in our eyes. And who’s going to be the one To say it was no good what we done? I dare a man to say I’m too young, For I’m going to try for the sun. We huddled in a derelict building And when he thought I was asleep He laid his poor coat round my shoulder, And shivered there beside me in a heap. And who’s going to be the one To say it was no good what we done? I dare a man to say I’m too young, For I’m going to try for the sun. We sang and cracked the sky with laughter, Our breath turned to mist in the cold. Our years put together count to thirty, But our eyes told the dawn we were old. And who’s going to be the one To say it was no good what we done? I dare a man to say I’m too young, For I’m going to try for the sun. Mirror, mirror, hanging in the sky, Won’t you look down what’s happening here below? I stand here singing to the flowers, So very few people really know. And who’s going to be the one To say it was no good what we done? I dare a man to say I’m too young, For I’m going to try for the sun. ---

Birdman thinks he owns the sky But he can’t look me in the eye I walk on gilded mirror blades I walk on razors feel no pain In the heat of summertime Rolling thunder is my sign I understand what’s going on I’m going to fly right to the sun ---

The sun is shining, the sea is rising The stars burn to their core And every proton and unnamed neutron Is fusing in my bones And a brand new mammal is darkly rising As Man burns from his tomb And I think on this as a blissful moment To fly into the sun. ---

As the sun breaks above the ground An old man stands on the hill As the ground warms to the first rays of light A birdsong shatters the still His eyes are ablaze See the madman in his gaze Fly on your way, like an eagle Fly as high as the sun On your way, like an eagle Fly and touch the sun Now the crowd breaks and a young boy appears Looks the old man in the eye As he spreads his wings and shouts at the crowd, “In the name of God, my father, I’ll fly!” His eyes seem so glazed As he flies on the wings of a dream Now he knows his father betrayed Now his wings turn to ashes to ashes his grave Fly on your way, like an eagle Fly as high as the sun On your way, like an eagle Fly and touch the sun ---

Lost On a painted sky Where the clouds are hung For the poet’s eye You may find him If you may find him There On a distant shore By the wings of dreams Through an open door You may know him If you may Be As a page that aches for a word Which speaks on a theme that is timeless While the Sun God will make for your day Sing As a song in search of a voice that is silent And the one God will make for your way ---

“Love, just don’t stare,” He used to say to me every Sunday morning The spider in the window, the angel in the pool The old man takes the poison Now the widow makes the rules “So speak, I’m right here!” She used to say to me - not a word, not a word Judas on the ceiling, the devil in my bed I guess Easter’s never coming So I’ll just wait inside my head Like a scream but sort of silent Living off my nightmares Voices repeating me “Feeling threatened? We reflect your hopes and fears.” Voices discussing me “Others steal your thoughts, they’re not confined within your mind.” Thought disorder, dream control Now they read my mind on the radio But where was the Garden of Eden? I feel elated - I feel depressed Sex is death, death is sex Says it right here on my crucifix Like a scream but sort of silent Living off my nightmares Voices protecting me “Good behavior brings the Savior to his knees.” Voices rejecting me “Others steal your thoughts, they’re not confined to your own mind.” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/game-speak-to-me-only-in-song-lyrics/658502.md?page=219) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/game-speak-to-me-only-in-song-lyrics/658502.md?page=221)
