Black Romance Lyrics by Jim Caroll

Black Romance Lyrics

    Everything you ever wanted
    Is passing with the driving rain
    I died like a salamander
    On my heart heavy like a chain
    I been waiting here at the uptown theater
    And it's all becoming clear that

    Refrain:
    It's too much head
    And not much heart
    But if you think about the end
    It might never get started
    It's a black romance
    But it's one more chance
    And if you fight out of spite
    You know that just ain't right

    Everyone you ever cared for
    Is staying at the big hotel
    I'm in the lobby with my hobby
    And my rags and my bags
    And the desk man rings a bell

    I put a sign on my brain
    That said, "do not disturb"
    But the maids keep walking in
    Then they make these beds
    Inside my head
    I wish they'd throw everything out instead

    Repeat refrain

    Little girl go out dancing
    Little girl dance all night
    Little girl dance to a love that's pure
    [. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ?]
    I could hold your soul before a 1000 watt bulb
    It wouldn't shine back at me

    Repeat refrain
