Had my dream I held your hand on matbroad avenue (?)
We crossed the road and never spoke to another as we flew
Left your man alone in drag laughing there at us
A Romantic bust a blunder turned explosive blunderbuss
An ancient grand hotel of Persian thread and ivory
And when your man would turn his head I'd see you look at me
Pools of brown and cigarette (?)
And demons in your pocket that sang romance
Performed a dance inside a silver locket
Corner exit that's not enough to walk out standing straight
Designed by men so ladies would have to lean back in their gate
You grabbed my arm and left with me but you were not allowed to
You took me to a public place to quietly blend into
Such a trick pretending not to be doing what you want to
But seems like everybody does this every waking moment
I laid you down and touched you
Like the two of us both needed
Safe to say that others might not approve of this and pleaded
So selfish them would be there crying
Who would be brave to argue
Doing what two people need is never on the menu
We crossed the road and never spoke to another as we flew
Left your man alone in drag laughing there at us
A Romantic bust a blunder turned explosive blunderbuss
An ancient grand hotel of Persian thread and ivory
And when your man would turn his head I'd see you look at me
Pools of brown and cigarette (?)
And demons in your pocket that sang romance
Performed a dance inside a silver locket
Corner exit that's not enough to walk out standing straight
Designed by men so ladies would have to lean back in their gate
You grabbed my arm and left with me but you were not allowed to
You took me to a public place to quietly blend into
Such a trick pretending not to be doing what you want to
But seems like everybody does this every waking moment
I laid you down and touched you
Like the two of us both needed
Safe to say that others might not approve of this and pleaded
So selfish them would be there crying
Who would be brave to argue
Doing what two people need is never on the menu
