Tom Verlaine - Venus lyrics

[Verse 1] It was a tight toy night, streets so bright The world was so thin between my bones and skin There stood another person who was a little surprised To be face to face with a world so alive [Chorus:] How I fell (did you feel low?) No (huh???) I fell right into the arms of Venus de Milo [Verse 2] You know it's all like some new kind of drug My senses are sharp and my hands are like gloves Broadway looked so medieval It seemed to flap, like little pages And I fell sideways laughing With a friend from many stages [Chorus:] How we felt (did you feel low?) Not at all (huh???) I fell right into the arms of Venus de Milo [Verse 3] Suddenly, my eyes went so soft and shaky I knew there was pain, but pain is not aching Then Richie, Richie said: "Hey man, let's dress up like cops, think of what we could do!" But something, something It said, "You'd better not" [Chorus:] And I fell (did you feel low?) Nah (huh???) I stood up, walked out of the arms of Venus de Milo
