New York City, February '64, I almost froze In a 7th Avenue phone booth, a chill came from the coast High upon his triumph, one James Dean never rode His second taste of faithless love and fresh-blown off the road Green off the streets of San Francisco He was trying to make and keep his mark and Trying to keep her too So how it goes I don't know Feelings froze and the book just closed Too many tears and sorrows, we lost our hearts I suppose Why after oh so many years I don't mind the coldness, I can make it in the dark If you were your own prisoner, you be your own guard We really thought we had it made, we thought we were so smart If it makes you feel any better babe, let's blame it on the stars Lover, lover, lover let's blame it on the stars, Lover, lover, lover tell me why it had to be so hard Everybody seemed so hungry then on Ambition Avenue Paranoia oozing in the air, it even filled our shoes Survival rode a two-faced mount, the vibes were black and blue They called it revoluton but murder seemed to rule The lovers hid out in the Grove they didn't wanna know About the war, us or them, the times are so confused So go to him now if he's the one you crave SongtexteHe's the one who sees through you, scars are blown away You need his sensitivity, you need his truth, his grace And there's nothing now, nothing now standing in his way So how it goes I don't know Feelings froze and the book just closed Too many tears and sorrows, we lost our hearts I suppose Why after oh so many years How heavy must the changes be to get yourself across to me I don't mind the coldness, I can make it in the dark If you were your own prisoner, you be your own guard We really thought we had it made, we thought we were so smart If it makes you feel any better babe, let's blame it on the stars Lover, lover, lover let's blame it on the stars Lover, lover, lover tell me why it had to be so hard Then it was off to California our hopes began to swell With a child in the offing, things didn't go so well Really felt like paradise, we fell beneath the spell Like palm trees on a freeway, so paradoxical In that other wasteland, Ahming for our own canal Blue river couldn't hear me, shit I wouldn't take the call So it was back to NYC where I crawled out of the well To get the energy again to say just fuck 'em all So how it goes I don't know Feelings froze and the book just closed Too many tears and sorrows, we lost our hearts I suppose Why after oh so many years I don't mind the coldness, I can see now in the dark If you were your own prisoner, you be your own guard We really thought we had it made, we thought we were so smart The famous model lovers then, we really missed the mark I wouldn't mind it half as much if I hadn't lost the part Lover, lover, lover if I hadn't lost the part Lover, lover, lover tell me why it had to be so hard It was Max's Kansas City, after a show we hit the bar How she longed for his reflection and I guess by now You know she reflected him so well And almost like perfected souls that never were apart In that hotel room that night she took his song to heart And just like wild horses, the lovers how they ran Who'd ever guess that Christmas day it'd stop like it began Sickness grabbed her by the spine, she fell out of his grip Ophelia turned to Camille and hit the Texas dirt Hamlet didn't stick around and did his worst Bogart And quickly split to New Years Eve avoidng all questions Went on to California and she to Switzerland So how it goes I don't know Feelings froze and the book just closed Too many tears and sorrows, we lost our hearts I suppose Why after oh so many years I don't mind the coldness, I can see now in the dark If you were your own prisoner, you be your own guard We really thought we had it made, we thought we were so smart The famous model lovers then, we really missed the mark I wouldn't mind it half as much if I hadn't lost the part Lover, lover, lover if I hadn't lost the part Lover, lover, lover tell me why it had to be so hard Aus Songtexte Mania
