I need a roof to support a fiddlernThe songs I'd hear if he were herenThe sun turned red and burned the house downnBurn it down sun until it disappearsnnI need a drink to sink my teeth innThe stories I'd tell if I could yellnAt the moon who came down to sweep up the ashesnSweep them up moon put them on your mantlennYou say you need someone to hold on to your dreamsnWell I'm afraid I'll have to refer you to my chambermaidnShe changes pillowcases in the hotel of disgracenIt's enough to make a sinner sad the way these dreams all go unhadnnI need a song to serenade the darknessnAnd a silver throat to bring her to her kneesnI've partaken of all of the pomegranatenAnd I'm ready to watch the whole earth freezennI need a lover to feed me poisonnThe pain I caused would be redeemednAnd the devil could hover over my casketnAnd curls his mustache for eternitynnYou say you need someone to hold on to your dreamsnWell I'm afraid I'll have to refer you to my chambermaidnShe changes pillowcases in the hotel of disgracenIt's enough to make a sinner sad the way these dreams all go unhad
