Nobody feels any pain
Tonight as I stand inside the rain
Everybody knows
That Baby's got new clothes
But lately I see her ribbons and her bows
Have fallen from her curls.
She takes just like a woman, yes, she does
She makes love just like a woman, yes, she does
And she aches just like a woman
But she breaks just like a little girl.

Queen Mary, she's my friend
Yes, I believe I'll go see her again
Nobody has to guess
That Baby can't be blessed
Till she sees finally that she's like all the rest
With her fog, her amphetamine and her pearls.
She takes just like a woman, yes, she does
She makes love just like a woman, yes, she does
And she aches just like a woman
But she breaks just like a little girl.

It was raining from the first
And I was dying there of thirst
So I came in here
And your long-time curse hurts
But what's worse
Is this pain in here
I can't stay in here
Ain't it clear that --

I just can't fit
Yes, I believe it's time for us to quit
When we meet again
Introduced as friends
Please don't let on that you knew me when
I was hungry and it was your world.
Ah, you fake just like a woman, yes, you do
You make love just like a woman, yes, you do
Then you ache just like a woman
But you break just like a little girl.

Beware the bottled thoughts of angry young men
Secret compartments hide all their skeletons
Little girl wants to make her home with him
In the middle of the shore, she wonders

"Don't know what you asked for."
"Don't know what you asked for."

All young lovers know why
Nightmares blind their mind's eye
Your rube is young and handsome
So new to your bedroom floor
You know **** well where you'll go

I've loved so many times and I've drowned them all
From their coral graves, they rise up when darkness falls
With their bones they'll scratch the window, I hear them call

"Don't know what you asked for."
"Don't know what you asked for."

Stay with me under these waves, tonight
Be free for once in your life tonight

While this town is busy sleeping,
all the noise has died away.
I walk the streets to stop my weeping,
'cause she'll never change her ways.

Don't fool yourself,
she was heartache from the moment that you met her.
Ah, my heart feels so still
as I try to find the will to forget her,
somehow.

Her love is a rose, pale and dying,
dropping her petals in land unknown,
all full of wine the world before her
was sober with no place to go.

Well my tears are falling down as I try to forget,
her love was a joke from the day that we met.
All of the words, all of her men,
all of my pain when I think back to when.

Remember her hair as it shone in the sun,
the smell of the bed when I knew what she'd done,
tell yourself over and over you won't ever need her again.

But don't fool yourself,
she was heartache from the moment that you met her.
Oh, my heart is frozen still
as I try to find the will to forget her, somehow.
She's out there somewhere now.

Love,
let me sleep tonight on your couch
and remember the smell of the fabric
of your simple city dress.

Oh, that was so real

We walked around
until the moon got full like a plate,
the wind blew an invocation,
could have fell asleep at the gaze
and I never stepped on the cracks
because I knew I'd lose my mother,
and I couldn't awake from
the nightmare that ****** me in
and pulled me under,
pulled me under.

Oh, that was so real

I love you but I'm afraid to love you

Oh, that was so real
