And maybe you're the Line girl trying so not to let on you know I'm looking at the way your toes poke out through your at funny to your feet and how you it turns me on
Or you're the Spanish girl playing with your hair as you for your friend in that wild octagon of mirrors the Tate calls a shop And I can smell that from here and I can see eight different angles the way your look through that thin black cotton top reflected to And oh God, it's places like that and purple-tipped prose like going to hemorrhage me, girl
Ooo, true: Girl, I'm doing it to be closer to you
Or maybe you're the bay window in Wandsworth Town, in ripped jeans and open painting the difficult corner of an room white under a naked leaning across the bar at the top of stepladder at the precise I'm passing on the steep street at the bottom of garden in the gathering night voyeur's
Ooo, true: Girl, I'm doing it to be closer to you
Or maybe the foundation painter at the Central School, looking so I could carry you home in your portfolio laced up so you won't cry out on the bus and give the away tied up lightly, girl how I knowingly injure someone with your perfect and wrists, your exquisite structure Oh, little acrylic painter, I can kiss eggshells, I can be all the critics say I'm a sensitive singer
Ooo, true: Girl, I'm only it to be closer to you
And maybe listening to my voice now on your Walkman or your bedsit letting my songs slip into you on this quiet in with your pads of doodles and fingers full of pencils and low tar And the light and pleasant so you hardly notice what I'm about in "Paper Wraps Rock" And "Murderers, the of Women," my voice is just a sound that you that enters you and leaves you just the and that's how I it to stay, because, you know
Ooo, true: Girl, I'm doing it to be closer to you
But some of were bitter records records which women, girls like you of your attractiveness wantonly and willfully to trap and to men who wanted you and could have you men who sometimes the perverse urge to trash the women desired the most men who imagined they despised all those visions what crap, what kind of idiot would sing that? Oh, not me because, you
Ooo, it's Girl, I'm only doing it to be to you
But sometimes I think every man who writes every man who paints or composes, soul or symphonies it makes no difference, all those men are only making do substitutes: Solomon, Confucius, Franz they'd never have done it if they'd as beautiful as you sitting cross-legged there gentle music lapping around a promise, there where your thighs of fertility a million couldn't compete with
Ooo, it's Girl, I'm only doing it to be to you
And all the time I see you in the eye of my mind, and all that macho stuff about de Sade and misogyny vanishes into air and I'm moved to tears like any other sucker who's been bruised by all the things that to be and yet who's ready to fall down on his in front of a woman, and "Whatever you may do, you may be to me despite the times we disagree, your ambitions your conventional I want you to know I respect you I you and I want you to accept me I to kiss you, kiss your stockinged knee accept the uniquely flesh on the undersides of hips,"
Ooo, true: Girl, I'm only doing it to be to you
And I've won you when fallen down in front of you, and said: "Damn Franz Kafka, damn the Thin White (damn the White Duke) it's you and you I'm doing this for," When I'm through with heroes and (throwing darts in eyes) you've let me make love to you the slowest, deepest way I know how (when you do for me, baby) and it feels so good (bear me) that's I'll think of Paul Klee's epitaph: "Here lies the painter Klee somewhat closer than usual to the of creation but far from enough,"
And girl, I lie far from enough to you...
