Venus

It was a tight toy night, streets so bright
The world 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

I fell (did you feel low?) Nah (huh?)
I fell right into the arms, Venus de Milo

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

We fell (did you feel low?) Nah (huh?)
I fell right into the arms, Venus de Milo

Suddenly, my eyes went so soft and shaky
I knew there was pain, pain is not aching
Richie, Richie said
"Why don't we dress up like cops, man? Think of what we could do"
Something, something said, "You'd better not"

And I fell (did you feel low?) Nah (huh?)
I stood up, walked out of the arms, Venus de Milo

Thank you
