The #14 Blues
1986-04-05

i want blue lips like the guy on the video screen
i want to talk to all them gone beauties on the east-side scene
14 is a lucky number, 1 and 4 make 5
5 makes me want to go the distance
keep the beat and survive
like go-man-go!
and i wish i had some money
so i could buy some time

andiwantiwantiwantiwanna be close
whatdoyouthinkwhatdoyouthinkwhatdoyouthink
you want baby?

i don't love so fast 'cause i might explode
i'm real, i'm special
i'm gonna explode
meet me on the church steps
and hold my hand
tell me all kinds of stuff
tell me more than i can stand

andiwantiwantiwantiwanna be close
whatdoyouthinkwhatdoyouthinkwhatdoyouthink
you want baby?

on the way home i stopped into an empty bar
and i belted some whiskey to melt the ice forming 'round my heart
last night me and kirk kelly,
we raved all night long
it was joyous go-man-go
until the sad-bird-chirping-church-steeple-dawn
and i wish i had some money
so i could buy some time
i wanna be close

i wanted blue lips like the guy on the video screen
i wanted to talk to all them gone prettygirls
on the eastside scene
andiwantiwantiwantiwanna be close
