These pale
Blue
Lights cover me so close that I can see,
They're a mirror,
Oh, nothing's how it seems.
I walk
Slow
Down through the crowds
In their fake leather shrouds,
To the corner
Lost in paper dreams,
I could have sworn
I saw you by the door with a painter.
She said she's not there
But you never cared for her did you?
I fell from the stage with a thunder,
Tricked by desire.
You've got the rest of me
Give me my heart back MacGuire.
Those cold
Red
Eyes that you see me through,
Won't tell you whether I'm lying,
But maybe that's just as well,
Cause if this
Is
All your living for baby
You're on step from dying.
And only time will tell.
Begging me please
You played that old tease, like an artist.
I sold the clothes on my back
Just to keep you in rags.
Now that you're perfectly sweet like a sadist,
Oh, you're stranger than fire.
You got my innocence,
Give me my heart back MacGuire.
The city's in bloom I'm lost in this room by the window,
Neon sign lullabies float in the blue evening haze,
You, you hid me away like a shadow,
Only yours to acquire.
You've seen your best days now,
Give me my heart back MacGuire.
They don't need you no more,
Give me my heart back MacGuire.
You've got the rest of me,
Give me my heart back MacGuire.
