Black Romance lyrics

Everything you ever wanted
Is passing with the driving rain
I died like a salamander
On my heart heavy like a chain
I been waiting here at the Uptown theater
And it`s all becoming clear that

Refrain:
It`s too much head
And not much heart
But if you think about the end
It might never get started
It`s a black romance
But it`s one more chance
And if you fight out of spite
You know that just ain`t right

Everyone you ever cared for
Is staying at the big hotel
I`m in the lobby with my hobby
And my rags and my bags
And the desk man rings a bell

I put a sign on my brain
that said, `Do not disturb`
But the maids keep walking in
Then they make these beds
Inside my head
I wish they`d throw everything out instead

Repeat Refrain

Little girl go out dancing
Little girl dance all night
Little girl dance to a love that`s pure
[. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ?]
I could hold your soul before a 1000 watt bulb
It wouldn`t shine back at me

Repeat Refrain
