Beauty On A Back Street

I turned around and you were standing there
More than a little high
More than a little crazy
So beautiful i had to stare
And i knew you had the power to change me
Scarlet woman, you've come for me
Your timing's great, 'cause i've been
Waiting so long
The only thing i want to say
Now that you've got me, please-
Don't change my life
You know i love you but i hate your friends
They got dollars but they ain't got sense
If the time comes and you go away
I hope i've changed and yet stayed the same
Scarlet woman you've come to me
Your timing's great 'cause i've been
Waiting so long
Only thing i want to say
Now that you've got me, please-
Don't change my life

Well i'm looking at her from a rock &
Roll tower
With the windows, its eyes
And its black stained sides that can't
Be climbed
"cause they're slick as wet glass
And the gate lets the force out, but thru
"none shall pass"

But when i'm with you it's just me in my time
Guess i've taken some form
Who knows which time around
But one of the reasons is to unite me
With you
I'm sure of that baby, if a heart tells the truth

Is it the winged bull
Or the horns of old pan
There's ra unto isis
There's woman to man
Sun and the moon
Minus and plus
Zero equals two
In love and in us

Wings of fire and me in my time
Taking the form making this sound
It's all of the reasons that unite me with you
I'm sure of that baby
If a heart tells the truth
Heart tells the truth

I spent last night trying to write to you
But the words wouldn't come,
I couldn't go on
And the telephone won't do

I'm sick and tired of hearing
"you're never home"
Yet i'm sick in the head and the hotel
Beds don't feel right
Though i hope it doesn't show
I feel a hollow down below
And there's nothing, nothing for me to say

I feel the emptyness inside me
The emptyness inside me
I have this feeling and i've got to get back
This feeling that i've got to get back to you

There's no one else
There's nothing else
There's no one else
I hear myself saying again and again....
Even if it doesn't show
I feel a hollow down below
And there's nothing, nothing for me to say

I feel the emptyness inside me
I hope it doesn't show
The emptyness inside me
Like a hollow down below
I have this feeling and i've got
To get back
This feeling that i've got to get back to you
I feel nothing but the emptyness

There's a million like us so we're not alone
A million like us tho' i can't think of one
There must be a million people who are
Pulling apart
And they don't know how to stop it,
Can't stop it when it starts
We can begin with a little bit of
Honesty
You can tell the truth when you're
Talking to me
And what comes to my mind when i
Think of you is....
What am i here for? there must be
Something more
Chorus:
It's bigger than both of us
No matter what you say i just can't
Think of a way with you
But nothing really lasts forever
Bigger than both of us
No matter how i try, i can't even
Work up a sigh for you
Nothing ever lasts, nothing really
Lasts forever
Just think of me as another page
In your life
A curious way for you to pass the time
Just another memory when you're
Middle-aged
There's someone for the girl with everything
Secure in the knowing that she ain't
Gonna break
You're too much for me i'm too much
For you
So what are you here for when you
Know there's something more
Repeat chorus
There's a million like us
It's bigger than both of us
