Another Story to Tell
You remember we used to run and hide
In the shadow of the cargoes I take you one time
And we're counting all the numbers down to the waterline
Near misses on the dogleap stairways
French kisses in the darkened doorways
A foghorn blowing out wild and cold
A policeman shines a light upon my shoulder
Up comes a coaster fast and silent in the night
Over my shoulder all you can see are the pilot lights
No money in our jackets and our jeans are torn
Your hands are cold but your lips are warm
She can see him on the jetty
Venus Again
When you gonna leave me alone
Wake up and get on with your life
When you gonna pick up the phone
Can't you see I'm lonely tonight
Stranded out on Venus again
Waiting for the TV to speak
Where are all my beautiful friends
Toasting off my beautiful week
Would you throw me a rope if I asked you to dance
Swallow me whole if I gave you the chance, oh yeah
Somewhere in space there's a start and an end
Show me the way Å’cause I'm stranded on Venus again
On Venus again
Strolling down the length of La Brea
Searching for my angels with spoons
Holding out the length of the day here
Praying for the light of the moon
Would throw me a rope if I asked you to dance...
Hung out by the neon lights
Well maybe I'm wrong for thinking I'm right
Hello, California
Can't you see I'm lonely tonight
Would you throw me a rope if I asked you to dance...
