make of our hands
one hand
make of our hearts
one heart
make of our vows
one last vow
only death will part
us now

make of our lives
one life
day after day
one life
now it begins
now we start
one hand one heart
even death won't part
us now

your day breaks your mind aches
you find that all the words of kindness linger on
when she no longer needs you

she wakes up she makes up
she takes her time and doesn't feel she has to hurry
she no longer needs you

and in her eyes you see nothing
no sign of love behind the tears
cried for no one
a love that should have lasted years

you want her you need her
and yet you don't believe her when she says her love is dead
you think she needs you

and in her eyes you see nothing
no sign of love behind the tears
cried for no one
a love that should have lasted years

you stay home she goes out
she says that long ago she knew someone but now he's gone
she doesn't need him

your day breaks your mind aches
there will be time when all the things she said will fill your head
you won't forget her

and in her eyes you see nothing
no sign of love behind the tears
cried for no one
a love that should have lasted years

if you see something that looks like a star
shooting up out of the ground
and your head is spinning from a loud guitar
and you can't escape from the sound
don't worry too much it'll happen to you
we were children once playing with toys
and the thing that you're hearing is only the sound
of the low spark of high heeled boys
high heeled boys high heeled boys

if you had just a minute to breathe
and they granted you one final wish
would you ask for something like another chance
or something similar as this
don't worry too much
it'll happen to you
as sure as your sorrows are joys
and the thing that disturbs you is only the sound of
the low spark of high heeled boys

the percentage you're paying is too high priced
while you're living beyond all your means
and the man in the suit has just bought a new car
from the profit he's made on your dreams
but today you just read that the man was shot dead
by a gun that didn't make any noise
and it wasn't the bullet that laid him to rest was
the low spark of high heeled boys
high heeled boys high heeled boys
high heeled boys high heeled boys

if i gave you everything that i owned
and asked for nothing in return
would you do the same for me as i do for you
or take me for a ride
strip me of everything including my pride
but spirit is something no one destroys
and the sound that i'm hearing is only the sound
the low spark of high heeled boys
high heeled boys high heeled boys
high heeled boys high heeled boys

up a lazy river by the old mill run
lazy river in the noon day sun
linger awhile in the shade of a tree
throw away your troubles
dream with me
up a lazy river where the robin's song
wakes the mornin'
we'll roll along
may be blue skies 'bove
everyone's in love
up a lazy river
how happy we'll be
up a lazy river with me
up a lazy river by the old mill run
that lazy lazy river in the noon day sun
you can linger for awhile in the shade of a tree
throw away your troubles baby
dream a dream of me
up a lazy river where the robin's song
wakes a brand new mornin'
where we can roll along
there may be blue skies up above
but as long as we're in love
yeah we'll be up a lazy river
how happy we could be
up a lazy river with me
oh that half way mark yeah
up a lazy river where that robin's song
awakes a brand new mornin'
we can roll along
there are blue skies up above
and as long as we're in love
we'll be up a lazy river
up a crazy lazy river
up a lazy river
i ain't goin' your way get out of my way
up a lazy river with me

after closing time
at the country fair
i detect the el supremo
in the room at the top of the stairs

well i've been around the world
and i've been in the washington zoo
and in all my travels
as the facts unravel
i've found this to be true

while the poor people sleepin'
with the shade on the light
while the poor people sleepin'
all the stars come out at night

while the poor people sleepin'
with the shade on the light
while the poor people sleepin'
all the stars come out at night

they got the house on the corner
with the rug inside
they got the booze they need
all that money can buy

they got the shapely bods
they got the steely dan t shirt
and for the coup de gras
they're outrageous
so honey let me tell you how

while the poor people sleepin'
with the shade on the light
while the poor people sleepin'
all the stars come out at night

while the poor people sleepin'
with the shade on the light
while the poor people sleepin'
all the stars come out at night

show biz kids making movies of themselves
they don't give a fuck about anybody else

while the poor people sleepin'
with the shade on the light
while the poor people sleepin'
all the stars come out at night

while the poor people sleepin'
with the shade on the light
while the poor people sleepin'
all the stars come out at night
