[00:20.25]I had my dream
[00:21.50]I held your hand on that broad avenue
[00:24.97]We crossed the road and never spoke
[00:27.48]To another as we flew
[00:29.72]We left your man alone in drag
[00:32.28]Laughin' there at us
[00:34.45]A romantic bust, a blunder turned
[00:36.81]Explosive blunderbuss
[00:40.69]🎵
[01:07.53]An ancient grand hotel
[01:09.32]Of Persian thread and ivory
[01:12.07]And when your man would turn his head
[01:14.50]I'd see you look at me
[01:16.79]Pools of brown and sea of red
[01:19.10]And demons in your pocket
[01:21.43]That sang romance, performed a dance
[01:23.93]Inside a silver locket
[01:26.56]🎵
[01:35.59]A corner exit, not tall enough
[01:37.65]To walk out standin' straight
[01:40.14]Designed by men so ladies
[01:42.01]Would have to lean back in their gait
[01:44.69]You grabbed my arm and left with me
[01:47.12]But you were not allowed to
[01:49.38]You took me to a public place
[01:51.55]To quietly blend into
[01:53.73]Such a trick pretending
[01:55.52]Not to be doin' what you want to
[01:58.12]But seems like everybody does this
[02:00.79]Every waking moment
[02:04.01]🎵
[02:21.48]I laid you down and touched you
[02:23.16]Like the two of us both needed
[02:26.04]Safe to say that others
[02:27.72]Might not approve of this, and pleaded
[02:30.35]"So selfish them," would be their cry
[02:32.71]And who'd be brave to argue?
[02:34.99]Doin' what two people need
[02:37.17]Is never on the menu
[02:48.48]🎵
