lyrics

The Beauty and the Beatnik
Closing up the town the night before
Now the taxi’s coming to take you home 
 
The night seemed so right
When you’re two of a kind
And one little kind word gets out
The night ended soft, and the day came in hard
Like Karen Black, in a film by Godard
Breathless and wild
 
The Beauty and the Beatnik
Closing up the town the night before
Now the taxi’s coming to take you home 
The Beauty on the porch step
The Beatnik on the living room floor
They’ve been tripping all the lights the night before
Things look better in the daylight
They’ll get better than the night before 
Now the taxi’s waiting to take you home
 
It’s easy and it’s fun
Like a two-seater car
That runs out of gas
Just in time for sunset
The apartment is bare
But the radio’s on
Playing Sam Cooke, and The Aislers Set
I never want to wake again 
You had to be that wonder girl
But I couldn’t rest until I was sure
 
The Beauty on the porch step
The Beatnik on the living room floor
They’ve been tripping all the lights the night before
Things look better in the daylight
They’ll get better than the night before 
Now the taxi’s waiting to take you home
