Who said death must be sad?
Let's go together, take my hand
Don't call me mad now 'cos I said so
I'll carry you across the deep black river
And as I lay you down
on the fresh green grass
I'll kiss your bloodred lips...
You know when night turns to day
and your head feels tired 'n heavy
When black and white emotions
turn to boring grey
We're together now and forever
we won't come back, no never
We're together now and forever
we won't come back... No...we can touch
touch our girl cheeks
and we can hold hands
like paper dolls
we can try
try each other on
in the privacy
within new york city's walls
we can kiss
kiss goodnight
and we can go home wondering
what would it be like if
if i did not have a boyfriend
we could spend
the whole night...
i am waking up
in her bed
i sing 1st avenue
the open window said
always late to sleep
late to rise
lying here watching the day go by
in the living room
there are people on the carpet
having stupid conversations
just to hear themselves talk
and i am drifting through
i am heading for the kitchen
i am thinking of her fingers as i walk...
we can touch
touch our girl cheeks
and we can hold hands
like paper dolls
we can try
try each other on
in the privacy
within new york city's walls
we can kiss
kiss goodnight
and we can go home wondering
what would it be like if
if i did not have a boyfriend
we could spend
the whole night...
