everybody's so in love

but they don't touch or meet

eyes all stinging eyes all red

a bunch of flowers in the street

i love a millionaire

the champagne was never cheap

but i could pay someone to drink it for me

never rise up from these sheets

watching time just roll away

stretching out my bones

a million miles from home

lust corrodes my body

i've lost count of my lovers

but i can count my money

for ever and forever

dreaming of a creature who is too pale and large to stand

and only feels the terror of his vain flight from earth
