	Now the weight of the books has crushed my delicate fingers
	I'm not trying to be Paganini any more
	All I dream about these days is sex with strangers
	Rats in spats and bowler hats on the dance floor
	Some days my head is the turret for a machine gun
	And the world is torn apart by a hail of words
	In tongues of fire the rookie priest reads the lesson
	And I would like to quote him chapter and verse
	He said "I'm in love with everyone who knows it's hard
	To build a way of seeing
	Who knows that nevertheless that's the only way
	To flame into being"
	I was always the sucker that got led into temptation
	When I didn't have a job, couldn't pay the bills
	But stretch me out on your tasteless warehouse sofa
	And there or somewhere else I'll do your will
	Maybe I'll come out clubbing on a rainy night in Soho
	So many clichés have sentimental truth, don't you find?
	You be Judith and I'll be Holofernes
	Living with a beautiful woman
	I'm jealous all the time
	And I'm in love with everyone who knows it's hard
	To build a way of seeing
	Who knows that nevertheless that's the only way
	To flame into being
	So take me to the people who'll gratify my ego
	Because under the swagger I don't know who I am
	Caesar beware the ides of adolescence
	Here comes some new Brutus in black 501s, ha!
	From the pores of his skin you can smell the cappuchino
	And his avaricious eyes are shining like the sun
	Black bat night come down from your roost now
	And cover me with your wings
	Under my eyes I shall wear your engagement ring
	And I'm in love with everyone who knows it's hard
	To build a way of seeing
	Who knows that nevertheless that's the only way
	To flame into being
	But as soon as I decide that this is not the place for me to stay
	I feel currents that buoy me up and bear me away
	And burglars or writers will carry this love away too
	Don't regret this, just forget me, let me release you
	And as soon as I decide I'm more fertile or just more sober
	Maybe I'll think of you like a touching American film
	How I left you washing the face of our baby
	How whenever I live alone
	My hands and eyes work again
	And I'm in love with everyone who knows it's hard
	To build a way of seeing
	Who knows that nevertheless that's the only way
	To flame into being
	Yeah, I'm in love with everyone who knows it's hard
	To build a way of seeing
	Who knows that nevertheless that's the only way
	To flame into being

	Now the weight of the books has crushed my delicate fingers
	I' m not trying to be Paganini any more
	All I dream about these days is sex with strangers

	And the world is torn apart by a hail of words
	In tongues of fire the rookie priest reads the lesson
	And I would like to quote him chapter and verse
	He said " I' m in love with everyone who knows it' s hard
	To build a way of seeing
	Who knows that nevertheless that' s the only way
	To flame into being"
	I was always the sucker that got led into temptation
	When I didn' t have a job, couldn' t pay the bills
	But stretch me out on your tasteless warehouse sofa
	And there or somewhere else I' ll do your will
	Maybe I' ll come out clubbing on a rainy night in Soho
	So many cliche s have sentimental truth, don' t you find?
	You be Judith and I' ll be Holofernes
