4.Venus

Lyricist:Tom Verlaine

Was a tight toy night, streets so bright
The world looked so thin between my bones and skin
There stood another person who was a little surprised
To be face to face with a world so alive

How I fell
(Did you feel low?)
No, I fell right into the arms of Venus De Milo

You know it's all like some new kind of drug
My senses are sharp and my hands are like gloves
Broadway looked so medieval, it seemed to flap, like little
pages
And I fell sideways laughing with a friend from many stages

How we felt
(Did you feel low?)
Not at all
I fell right into the arms of Venus De Milo

Suddenly my eyes went so soft and shaky
I knew there was pain but pain is not aching
Then Richie, Richie said, 'Hey man let's dress up like cops
think of
What we could do' But something, something and said 'You better
not'

And I fell
(Did you feel low?)
No
I stood up, walked out the arms of Venus De Milo
