Nothing positive can come out of this
Said madame butterfly with her last kiss;
And what you never had, you won't really miss
And nothing really matters, no not even this.

Alright, I said, I know
All things must change;
And what was familiar now seems strange, yeah
. back on the streets, I move from town to town


But I don't know where, or why I go..
Where is high, where is low;
Where is up, and where is down;
I just don't know, I just don't know.

I wish I could fall
Wish I could fall, fall in love;
But i'm, I'm not at all
I'm not at all in love....

Honey, I just hateThe way that you treat me, nowWhat we had is gone, I know,But even so....
Now it's asking too muchWhen I want to talk to you;After all the talkingYou and I been throughAll that's left are dreamsWhere it still comes trueAnd I'm stepping out one,Stepping out, twoStepping out of my mind,Still stepping out with you
I'm stepping out one,Stepping out, twoStepping out of my mind,Still stepping out with you

There's no point, I knowTalkin' 'bout what we used to haveWhat used to beSeems so long agoYou still mean a lot to me.Ooh, I've triedMaybe too many timesTo find a placeBut you took something with youThat's impossible to replace.And I'm lost in a dreamWithout time or space.
I'm stepping out, one, etc.
I just can't stand, etc.
And I'm left with dreamsWhere it still comes true.

Champagne and valium - half-hearted kisses;
Lord, won't you tell me
What kind of breakfast this is.
God said, cool it, boy, you've sure got a nerve..
You've already had much more than you deserve.
Shut your mouth, and go home, boy.. .

Looks like I'm leaving, leaving again;
Same old ticket, babe, same old train.
No destination, but who ever knows
Just where it is that anyone goes..
Tell me where they all go to.

Oh, doctor, doctor, can you feel my pain?
Doctor said, "shit man, not you again!"
Just how many times do I have to explain:
There ain't no medicine
That'll take you back again
To where you were again.


To where you were, before, boy.

It's what you feel
It's not what you think
Can't taste no wine
If you don't drink.
You don't know how
And you sure don't know why.
You're just like the rest
And all you can do is try
Try to catch hold of that dream, boy....

Champagne and valium - half-hearted kisses;
Lord, won't you tell me
What kind of breakfast this is.
God said, cool it, boy, you've sure got a nerve..
You've already had much more than you deserve.
Shut your mouth, and go home, boy....
