I set my hand to writing you, it drifted off the page
I sold my one vision for a piece of the cake, I haven't ate in days

For unspoken value, aesthetic and charm
I smile at you sideways but the lighting is wrong
I'm taking a picture and counting the cost
While the bells in my ears keep ringing

I set my hand to writing you, it drifted off the page
I nearly fell, I feel like a low-life in Hell
And I haven't slept in days and days, days and days

Beat on my Fender through my Gemini 2
Played to the posters on the wall of my room
Thought I was crazy and I think about you
And the bells in my ears keep ringing
And the bells in my ears keep ringing
In my ear the bells are ringing

Oh Denis, bee-doo
I'm in love with you Denis, bee-doo
I'm in love with you Denis, bee-doo
I'm in love with you

Denis, Denis, oh with your eyes so blue
Denis, Denis, I've got a crush on you
Denis, Denis, I'm so in love with you, oh

Oh when we walk it always feels so nice
And when we talk it seems like paradise
Denis, Denis, I'm so in love with you, oh

You're my king and I'm in heaven every time I look at you
When you smile it's like a dream
And I'm so lucky 'cause I found a boy like you

Denis, Denis, avec tes yeux si bleux
Denis, Denis, moi j'ai flashe a nous deux
Denis, Denis, un grand baiser d'eternite
Denis, Denis, je suis si folle de toi
Denis, Denis, embrasse moi se soir
Denis, Denis, un grand baiser d'eternite

Oh Denis, bee-doo
I'm in love with you Denis, bee-doo
I'm in love with you Denis, bee-doo
I'm in love with you

Oh Denis, bee-doo
I'm in love with you Denis, bee-doo
I'm in love with you Denis, bee-doo
I'm in love with you
I'm in love with you

Flight 45 was last seen alive on the runway
Leaving for some fun in the hot tropic sun, back next Monday
And our friends are at the airport, cousin Bill says "Enjoy the water-sports."
As we fly into the mystery the film comes on and the Earth recedes, oh woah
Several hours out and twenty minutes south of Bermuda
The communication's gone, something has to be so wrong
And it must be Jesus calling, the silver ship, the blue sea falling
Death was in that poison wave and in its gulf a fitting grave

The coastguard said they might be found
They know just where the plane went down

Sundown finds him out of town on the overpass
His inner self glued to his .22
Dirty metal in the speed of night, lights and broken glass
My heart can destroy all I see

Moving streets all make me lonely
Come to me and be mine only
I can hide us far from sight
But you must wait and I must fight this nothingness

Walls, I see my little room, I hear my parents friends
I hope that my actions make amends
I would like to kill for love but I don't know how
Here I lie so far above the ground

Busy streets all make me lonely
Come to me and be mine only
I can move us through the night
But you must wait and I must fight this emptiness

Black top burns with silent screams, others stop my dreams
Lightning crash, crash, crash
Fear causes some to live, others die real cool
I died in the evening after school

Be mine only
Be my own
Be mine only
Be my own

1 2 3 4
Although I'm young I got a job to do
Hid the microfilm in the lining of my shoe
Call it a business trip
Got to hide inside my trenchcoat and be clever

I got my papers and a cyanide pill
My polaroid's a taser in disguise
There's a base in the hills
And the wheat fields look like Kansas in November

Astrovia, sweet comrade, your nation is your gun
Your love reads like the broken code you sent me
One last contact in Red Square unless I have to run
And the long arms of the KGB detect me

Can't trust a soul, secret messenger
Just the rules that lie like circuits in your brain
And a cool 45.
The wind is ice and foreign air tastes grey

ICBM and Bang! You're dead! No one left to worry
Kiss me quick, now I have to hurry
Our last contact in Red Square unless I have to run
And the long arms of the CIA detect me

Hey!
Hey! Hey!

Was it destiny? I don't know yet
Was it just by chance? Could this be kismet?
Something in my consciousness told me you'd appear
Now I'm always touched by your presence, dear

When we play at cards you use an extra sense (It's really not true)
You can read my hand, I've got no defence
When you send your messages, whispered loud and clear
I am always touched by your presence, dear

Floating past the evidence of possibility
We could navigate together psychic frequencies

Coming into contact with outer entities
We could entertain each one with our theosophy

Stay awake at night and count your REMs
When you're talking with your super friends
Levitating lovers in the secret stratosphere
I am still in touch with your presence, dear
I am still in touch with your presence, dear, dear
I am still in touch with your presence, dear, dear, dear, dear, dear

I'm on E, I'm on E, I'm on E, got nothing to say
I used to have a car of my own
I'm on E, I'm on E, I'm on E for England
Laid out for maybe a week
I walk my feet to the bone
I'd give my life for a car of my

I'm on E, I'm on E, two weeks ago Saturday I was on TV
I'd like a show of my own
But you see I'm still on E even though everything is happening to me
Oh-oh oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
So when you're driving on home don't regret your loan
Ah-ah-ah AHHH!

I'm on E, I'm on E, I gave my car to a guy named Vinnie
I feel like gassing my feet
They're totalled and skipped a beat
I used to have a car of my own

Twenty-eight or fifty-eight or walking to refrigerator
To the pump, to the pump, still on E, I'll think of something
I'm on E and I'm on E, I'll never have to fill my feet
Twenty-eight or fifty-eight or walking to refrigerator
To the pump, to the pump, still on E, I'll think of something
I'm on E and I'm on E, I'll never have to fill my feet

You got ants in your pants, I don't understand, I don't trust the flick of your eye
You're a viper and love's a fever
You said something profane and went for a vein but in spite of your delicate touch
I should have known as much: I'm a bleeder

I didn't have the nerve to say no (No-no, no-no)
I didn't have the nerve to say no (No-no, no-no)

You caught me surprised and my will resigned to torture the minds of them all
You're a brain-drain, you'd better beat it
I'm following lines, the blind leads the blind, so hang me a grant or a stay
You better cut me loose or hand me a noose

I didn't have the nerve to say no (No-no, no-no)
I didn't have the nerve to say no (No-no, no-no)

I didn't have the nerve to say no (No-no, no-no)
I didn't have the nerve to say no (No-no, no-no)
I didn't have the nerve to say no (No-no, no-no)
I didn't have the nerve to say no (No-no, no-no)

You said something profane and went for a vein but in spite of your delicate touch
I should have known as much: I'm a bleeder

There's no end to the problem of a bad situation, complication
No-no, no-no, ah
There's no end to the problem and frustration, I need a vacation
No-no, no-no, ah
There's no end to the problem, na-na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na
No-no, no-no, ah
There's no end to the problem, na-na-na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na
And I know I couldn't, and I know that I couldn't say no

We fell in love down at the pier
You were sunbathing, I was around
Soon we were sharing a beer
We fell in love at the pier

I'm no sentimental snob so don't think I'm queer
You got something baby and it ain't just my beer
Well maybe it's the hot-pants, maybe the heat
Or was it the sneakers you kicked off your feet

I sat under my umbrella to keep my pearly skin
You tanned your oily body, looking like sin
Well soon I was sweating and I wanted to leave
You slipped into the water from too much grease, whoo!

Well I saw you yelling, I just couldn't hear
So I screamed back at you "Honey keep the beer!"

We never consummated our outside love-affair
Too much carbon water, too much hot air
Oh what a tragic end, two lovers' love is lost
We would have stood a chance if we met in the frost but

We fell in love down at the pier
You were sunbathing, I was around
Now I go to beaches with my girlfriend
No, no more love splinters in my rear end

Eyes that tell me "Baby you don't need no invitation."
Let me smoke another cigarette before I make a move
I can see me in the morning, losing my direction
Deep inside my overcoat, looking for the door

I don't wanna stay with you, I just wanna play with you
One sweet abbreviation sleeping like the dead
You think you're pretty, well so do I
You came to but, passion eyes, got no imagination to clutter up my head

Eyes that mirror innocence and cannot sense the changes
Let's have another drink dear, before we get deranged
I can see me in the morning avoiding your detection
Slowly down the staircase looking for the door

I don't wanna stay with you, I just wanna play with you
One sweet abbreviation sleeping like the dead
You think you're pretty, well so do I
You came to but, passion eyes, got no imagination to clutter up my head

All is fair in love and war so I don't want your love no more
One sweet abbreviation seeping like the dead
You're fragile and you're very green, conditioned by the milk machine
Got no imagination
Go no imagination
None
Take a walk kid

Eyes that tell me "Baby you don't need no invitation."
Let me smoke another cigarette before I make a move
I can see me in the morning, losing my direction
Deep inside my overcoat, footsteps for the door

Ah-ha you got an unnerving face
A-twitching eyes like Norman Bates
You got a cigarette, eyes on the mirror
Farm boy Brown gas station sweeper

You took that girl and put the saddle on her
Just thirteen, she's her daddy's apple
And she don't know you're the kidnapper, ah-ha
Do-do-do, do-do-do

Ah-ha you're daddy's Whisky Sam
He got bloodshot eyes like Ray Milland
Playing solitaire, your mother fidgets
You wanna be rich but you won't dig ditches

She bitches like a brat, she got the money
People breaking their necks and she thinks it's funny
Where's your old man now? Nobody's home, ah-ha
Do-do-do, do-do-do

Kidnapper, kidnapper, kidnapper, kidnapper

Well she don't know you're the kidnapper, ah-ha

Ah-ha they call you Skinny Jim
And nobody knows the boat you're in
They dipped your tail when you were back in school
You're a real strange cake but you're nobody's fool
So you took that girl and put the saddle on her
Just thirteen and she's fresh out of diapers
And she don't know you're the kidnapper
Do-do-do, do-do-do

She don't know you're the kidnapper, ah-ha
Do-do-do, do-do-do
Where's your old man now? Nobody's home, ah-ha
Do-do-do, do-do-do
Well she don't know you're the kidnapper, ah-ha
Do-do-do, do-do-do

You know he can't be tested, he can't be read or found
Urban grey takes breath away
He wants to push his pedal to the ground
And the night's what's right
Puts him at the wheel

Well I eat danger, any stranger is all right
Feel hot to go like Jimmy O
Dodging flying objects at the show
And the lights make me fight
In Detroit 442 maybe baby I could ride with you

This town's a concrete factory
Dad and mom look just like me
I'm on the plant assembly-line
Too late now, too far behind
Said you wanna hang around, no one really cares where you go
Take your time, things never change

In Detroit 442 maybe baby I could ride with you
Detroit 442 maybe baby I could ride with you
Detroit 442 maybe baby I could ride with you
Detroit 442 maybe baby I could ride with you

One more to market, one more piggy
And they all, they all look just like me yeah!

I seen you skip that cautious lip
Now tell me this through that cautious lip
You can be bit as I make you it
I seen you skip that cautious lip

A chance you'll fit that cautious lip
It's just these things, not really gifts
It's just these things, not really gifts
I seen you skip that cautious lip

I seen you skip that cautious lip
But never miss my bouncing hips

A girl so sweet, a love so strong
I seen you skip, I seen you tip
You can be bit as I make you it
I seen you skip that cautious lip

I seen you skip that cautious lip

Cautious lip, cautious lip, can be bit, make you it
Seen you skip, cautious lip, a chance you'll fit, skip of the lip
Oh, oh, not really get
Skip, lip
Oh, oh, arggghhhhh! Aw! What's going on?

Poet's problem, patron's sin
Puts me in the place I'm in
Passion's letter, poison pen
On these two things I can depend

You will write your number, that's not all
I will not be there when you call
I think I'll do a line and then again …

Dirty dealer's school of thought
An armchair for the strength you've lost
The TV set's been on all night
You were wrong and I was right

You will write your number on the wall
I will not be there when you call
I think I'll do a line and then again …

You will write your number, that's not all
I will not be there when you call
You will write your number on the wall
I will not be there when you call
I think I'll do a line and then again …
