You Know

I know this mad excitement:
Isn't it fine to know
That love is real
In what we feel
And all we have to show.
In all this gay confusion,
It's a comfort just to see,
That what you say,
Is what you mean,
The words are meant for me.

I watch the day go down,
Sad fire.
I watch my luck turn round
The high flyer.
I drew my bones around
Sure fire.

Livin' Alone

The last time I saw you,
I saw the writing on the wall.
I didn't like it,
I didn't like it at all.
I look at my telephone,
I let it ring and ring.
I do the crying,
Let the wire do the singing.

Love Up

Your baby can't see you now, she's busy;
She recommends you go and see Sister Lizzy.
Step around the corner,
Up against the wall;
See to your needs - no trouble at all.
