Your lungs fill up with concrete Her voice is all you can hear Red lips and a screwdriver Wrapped around some mink-clad smear And you know that she's a diamond And it's damned you for sure (OR In this damn juke box hell) 'Cause fools gold only fools fools In two-bit hotels. But she's cooler than all that She's a real high-class cat She's queen of the last dance rodeo.
But under the gas lamp The air is thick and velvety Your bones filled with hunger Your heart filled with longing You're no longer human You're an insatiable hole. You wanna bury your face forever In the navel of her soul 'Cause you know ...
All you need is a heart to call home All you need is a heart to call home That's all.
Light bulbs, and nylons And plastic chandeliers Objects are only objects, They can't feel when you're near. And tangerine lips And lily-white breasts These things are eternal Inside them humanity rests. The skin is like a seashell You listen to the soul Like an old-time radio show.
But under the gas lamp The air is thick and velvety Your bones filled with hunger Your heart filled with longing
You're no longer human You're an insatiable hole. You wanna bury your face forever In the navel of her soul 'Cause you know ...
All you need is a heart to call home That's all.
But don't wander too far On one constant star Darkness exists, except where you are Your feet are filled with wandering They follow your own 'Cause everywhere you are Feels like home. So search all you miners You hunters of dreams Look in the alleyways For what you know is not what it seems And fame, all you maidens, It don't exist too long But at least look behind you And see your own shadow's gone Don't you know it's the last rodeo You gotta find yourself a cowboy Or someone to keep you Warm when it snows.
But under the gas lamp The air is thick and velvety Your bones filled with hunger Your heart filled with longing You're no longer human You're an insatiable hole. You wanna bury your face forever In the navel of her soul 'Cause you know ...
All you need is a heart to call home All you need is a heart All you need is a heart to call home That's all.
