Your lungs fill up with concrete

Her voice is all you can hear

Red lips and a screwdriver

Wrapped around some mink-clad smear

And you know that she's no diamond

In this damn jukebox hell

'cause only fools gold fools fools

In two-bit hotels.

But she's cooler than all that

She's a real high-class cat

She's queen of the last dance rodeo.



But under the gas lamp

The air is thick and velvetine

Your bones filled with hunger

Your heart filled with longing

You're no longer human

You're an insatiable hole.

You wanna bury your face forever

In the navel of her soul

'cause you know



All you need is a heart to call home

All you need is a heart to call home

That's all



Light bulbs, and nylons

And plastic chandeliers

Objects are only objects,

They can't feel when you're near.

Tangerine lips

And lily-white breasts

These things are eternal

Inside them humanity rests.

The skin is like a seashell

You listen to the soul

Like an old time radio show.



But under the gas lamp

The air is thick and velvetine

Your bones filled with hunger

Your heart filled with longing



You're no longer human

You're an insatiable hole.

You wanna bury your face forever

In the navel of her soul

'cause you know



All you need is a heart to call home

That's all



But don't wander too far

On one constant star

Darkness exists, except where you are

My feet are filled with wandering

They follow your own

'cause everywhere you are

Feels like home.

So search all you miners

You hunters of dreams

Look in the alleyways

For what you know is not what it seems

And feign, all you maidens,

But don't resist too long

Least look behind you

And see your own shadow is gone

Don't you know it's the last rodeo?

You gotta find yourself a cowboy

Or someone to keep you

Warm when it snows.



But under the gas lamp

The air is thick and velvetine

Your bones filled with hunger

Your heart filled with longing

You're no longer human

You're an insatiable hole.

You wanna bury your face forever

In the navel of her soul

'cause you know



All you need is a heart to call home

All you need is a heart

All you need is a heart to call home

That's all
That's all.
