It was backstage in Moscow late one night
 We shared a cigarette, a kiss goodbye
 Her name was Cayenne, so young and soft
 Her hands trembled badly, h...

Foghorns blowing, all day sirens,
Long trip, still unwinding.
Had trouble getting out of bed,
Basked in the grey of fog instead.

The saddest eyes she wore
 so longing and forlorn

Walked in the room, soaked up its fumes

Surveyed the faces I am lying to

The ancient streets so crowded and narrow
The winding stairs climb up up high
The air tonight hangs sour and heavy
I'm dying up here love lie with me ...

 That's in New York, friends
 I'm going to Arizona
 Sex on the rocks all warm and red

If I came home too proud of myself
I get wrestled to the floor and choked.
But I forgive him for th...

At the midnight movies when I was a kid
At a Canton,
