went back to the boulevard, canceled all her credit cards, my ballerina from Marseille

is there a hero somewhere, someone who appears and saves the day?

I see you now, a vague deception of a dying day

are you still too weak to survive your mistakes?

the ties that bind us just slip away

sometimes I feel that I should go and play with the thunder

an empty glass, a topless babe, a knock on the door--

was the sound of distant drumming just the fingers of your hand?

down a hollow to a cavern where the sun has never shone

only your eyes for a dime

Galileo's head was on the block; the crime was looking up for truth

through your eyes the strains of battle like a brooding storm

the past is gone but something might be found to take its place

a tale begun in other days, when summer suns were glowing

choose your weapon, time to pay

have mercy on my soul, I will never let you know

who shot that arrow in your throat? who missed the crimson apple?

they take a Polaroid and let you go, say they'll let you know
