The Last Time I Saw Richard
Last time I saw Richard was Detroit in 68And he told me all romantics meet the same fateSomeday, cynical and bitter and boring someoneIn some dark cafeYou laugh, he said you think you're immune,Go look at eyesThey're full of moonYou like roses and kisses and pretty men to tell youAll those pretty lies, pretty liesWhen you gonna realize they're only pretty liesOnly pretty lies, pretty liesHe put a quarter in the wurlitzer, and he pushedThree buttons and the thing began to whirlAnd a waitress came by a fishnet stockings and a bow tieAnd she said: "drink up now it's getting on time to close"Richard, you haven't really changed, I saidThat's just now you're romanticizing some pain that's in your headYou've got tombs in your in your eyes, but the songsYou punched are dreamingListen, they talk of love so sweetWhen you gonna get yourself back on your feet?Letras de cancionesOh and love can be so sweet, love so sweetRichard got married to a figure skaterAnd he bought her a dish washer and a coffe percolatorAnd he drinks at home now most night with the TV onAnd all the house lights left up brightI'm gonna blow this damn candle outI don't want nobody comin'over to my tableI've got nothing to talk to anybody aboutAll good dreamer pass this away somedayHidin' behind bottles in dark cafesDark cafesOnly a darkness beforeI get my gorgeous wingsAnd fly awayOnly a phase, these dark cafe days
