I fried my head, I'm not a brunette

 I'm a down and dusky blonde

 I am living in a tree

 When I lie in bed I see

 Beyond my lover's head the moon, I hear the rain

I am conscious of my voice

 as a tool it's more demure

 Than your friend the singing queen

 With her matinee good looks

 She talks like talking from a book

 I speak the language of my village, of my street

But I need a friend and I choose you

 I tell you the way I feel

 The truth is crushing like a heel

 I will forget the kiss and feel if you will too

Tell me tales of punk rockin' girls

 It's a dim and distant page

 But I mostly blame my age

 Please make allowances for me. I do not see.

It's a drag that you're getting old

 I love to think about the year

 When we sobbed and then we cheered

 The town deserted like a film

 Your torso crushing me

 Into the country and the tunnels and the fields

But I need a friend and I choose you

 I tell you the way I feel

 The truth is crushing like a heel

 I will forget the kiss and feel if you will too

I read a book a day like an apple

But I did not eat

 And so the doctor came to me

 He said a woman does not live

 By the printed word forgive yourself and eat

Autumn sped along outside

 Trick photography on speed

 I was locked inside a room

 They made a deal, they would control

 The simple things like bodies but I kept my soul

When I needed someone I chose you

 Because the fledgling soul awakes

 And on the balcony she quakes

 And she is waiting for the sign

 And when the brother does not come

 And when the sister's much too young, she chooses you

He doesn’t usually play the last one, but goes back to the verse C.
