lyrics

Sylvia –revised july 2000 (written in September 1996)

you smoke cigarettes like sentences
that tell me how you are
I’m caught up in your messages
that cling to me like tar..
how do you say
the things you never let yourself say?
how do you say “denial”?

oh Sylvia –please listen to me
to-night we are having fun
so get up and dance with me

you want to sympathize with your villains
convince yourself that it’s okay
your addictions are confessions
but you’re no angel and you cannot fly away

chorus


the year is 1923 and it’s a ballroom scene.
The city is berlin and you’re feeling mean..
I know I let you down…
paint the moon so prettily down
