Now the weight of the books has crushed my delicate fingersI'm not trying to be Paganini any moreAll I dream about these days is sex with strangersRats in spats & bowler hats on the dance floorSome days my head is the turret for a machine gun& the world is torn apart by a hail of wordsIn tongues of fire the rookie priest reads the lesson& I would like to quote him chapter & verseHe said:I'm in love with everyoneWho knows it's hard to build a way of seeingWho knows that nevertheless that's the only wayTo flame into beingI was always the sucker that got led into temptationWhen I didn't have a job, couldn't pay the billsBut stretch me out on your tasteless warehouse sofa& there or somewhere else I'll do your willMaybe I'll come out clubbing on a rainy night in SohoSo many clichés have sentimental truth, don't you find?You be Judith & I'll be HolofernesLiving with a beautiful woman, I'm jealous all the timeSongtexteI'm in love with everyoneWho knows it's hard to build a way of seeingWho knows that nevertheless that's the only wayTo flame into beingSo take me to the people who'll gratify my egoBecause under the swagger I don't know who I amCaesar, beware the ides of adolescenceHere comes some new Brutus in black 501s, ha!From the pores of his skin you can smell the cappuccino& his avaricious eyes are shining like the sunBlack bat night come down from your roost now & cover me with your wingsUnder my eyes I shall wear your engagement ring& I'm in love with everyoneWho knows it's hard to build a way of seeingWho knows that nevertheless that's the only wayTo flame into beingBut as soon as I decide that this is not the place for me to stayI feel currents that buoy me up & bear me away& burglars or writers will carry this love away tooWell, don't regret this, just forget me, let me release you& as soon as I decide I'm more fertile or just more soberMaybe I'll think of you like a touching American filmHow I left you washing the face of our babyHow whenever I live alone, my hands & eyes work again& I'm in love with everyoneWho knows it's hard to build a way of seeingWho knows that nevertheless that's the only wayTo flame into beingYeah, I'm in love with everyoneWho knows it's hard to build a way of seeingWho knows that nevertheless that's the only wayTo flame into being Aus Songtexte Mania
