A little lawyer on the tube, he said, its so easy now, anyone can sue.
Sex sells everything and sex kills.
Innocence is drowned in anarchy. The best lack conviction given time to think, and the worst are full of passion without mercy.
Elusive dreams and vague desires fanned to fiery needs by deadly deeds of falling empires.
But you know it's hard to tell When you're in the spell if it's wrong or if it's real But you're bound to lose If you let the blues get you scared to feel
Heaven's full of astronauts and the Lord's on death row.
Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels The dizzy dancing way you feel As every fairy tale comes real I've looked at love that way.
I want to have fun. I want to shine like the sun. I want to be the one that you want to see. I want to knit you a sweater. I want to write you a love letter. I want to make you feel better. I want to make you feel free.
And the seasons, they go round and round,/ And the painted ponies go up and down./ We're captive on the carousel of time.
I've looked at life from both sides now/ From win and lose and still somehow/ It's life's illusions I recall/ I really don't know life at all.
Sorrow is easy to express and so hard to tell.
Tears and fears and feeling proud to say 'I love you' right out loud.
You're in my blood like holy wine, You taste so bitter and so sweet. I could drink a case of you darling Still I'd be on my feet. I would still be on my feet.
Say, won't you stay; we'll put on the day and we'll talk in present tenses
