jo the waiter

Lyrics

jo the waiter worked for me, serving wine in basement bars, only madmen ever stay, "got no time", if you're mindless please take mine, jo the waiter held me close, behind the door marked 'gentlemen', just for now that's all i need, won't someone call me 'friend'?, long gone, i recall good times, i must confess, i cried, we burned out and the line went dead, at six o'clock i felt so alone, i crawled inside, where else to go?, i could be dead for all you know, everyday i died for you, valium boys with painted eyes, young men need love special, i don't think i want it at all, long gone, i recall good times, i must confess, i cried, me, i've retired to a back street flat, picture 'eyes in a cold steel frame', the freaks arrive, broken needles and blood, "what you on, man, to get those eyes?", it's very touching, i'm so close to me, false smiles i've rehearsed for days, come inside, you won't know i'm wrong, give me your heart, i'm so quickly gone
