Venus Lyrics

Was it tight toy night, streets so bright The world looked so thin, between my bones and skin There stood another person who was a little surprised To be face to face with a world so alive How I felt? Did ya feel low? No ... Huh??? I fell right into the Arms of Venus de Milo You know it's all like some new kind of drug My senses are sharp and my hands are like gloves Broadway looked so medieval, it seemed to flap, like little pages And I fell sideways laughing with a friend from many stages How we felt? Did ya feel low? Not at all ... Huh??? I fell right into the Arms of Venus de Milo Suddenly my eyes went so soft and shakey I knew there was pain but pain is not aching Then Richie, Richie said "Hey man let's dress up like cops, think of what we could do" But something, something said it said "You better not" And I fell Did ya feel low? No ... Huh??? I stood up, walked out of the Arms of Venus de Milo Words & Music by Tom Verlaine Published 1977 by Warner Bros. Music
