Henry 02:57
Henry Oh Henry Henry Oh Henry Why don't you come to Louveciennes? Henry Oh Henry Henry Oh Henry Why don't you come to Louveciennes? I'm enchanted by your writing and I've fallen in love With the streets of your Paris and all the cafes you speak of Henry Oh Henry Henry Oh Henry Why don't you come to Louveciennes? Henry Oh Henry Henry Oh Henry Why don't you come to Louveciennes? I've made all of your favorite foods and you'll say it's not real But I did it just for you so you'll stay by my side Henry Oh Henry Henry Oh Henry Why don't you come to Louveciennes? Henry Oh Henry Henry Oh Henry Why don't you come to Louveciennes? We could sit by the fire and read from those diaries that I wrote as a child so long ago drifting at sea

Get lost on the boulevard Up on the hillside Mansions on the right bathed in dazzling sunshine Winding roads lead your through jacarandas Their deadly blossoms twirling to the ground Come won't you see what life has defied Oh come won't you see what death has denied Hot star maps A block for a dollar X marks the spot What'd you expect to find In these glamorous houses where nothing goes wrong Where death and disaster cease to exist where beauty is worshiped high above the ground Come won't you see what death denied oh come won't you see what life has defied come won't you see the poison inside Hot star maps A block for a dollar

Synapses 03:24
Your eyes they flash My heart it beats Still you're here sipping whiskey with me No water will grace your lips Nor will mine With these words my only weapon I write to make myself whole again As these words Spill out of my pen You turn to talk to our friends Synapses slow and you become sweet who needs these chemicals I put in me Moments of lucidity flash back to me when you leave to go out and smoke a cigarette you're just a casual hypocrite but I believe you when you kiss me Oh I take it so literally Synapses slow and you become sweet who needs these chemicals I put in me The way you move your tongue over mine has me so preoccupied with your graying hair your green eyes how many years are left inside how many years are left to deny how many years are left inside Synapses slow and you become sweet who needs these chemicals I put in me

That Dress 04:17
Darkness of night stands outside the door becomes to me oh it does implore questioning why I must break my heart again and again on this unyielding floor? It falls from my hands so easily shatters to pieces imperceptibly What does it matter if I wear that dress if you're not around to see me at my best I should be going it's getting late so tired of being the one who must wait I should be home reading in bed living my life through thoughts in my head yet I'm standing here a piece of scenery to all that pass by and notice me None of their eyes can satisfy me The gaze I crave does not come for free What does it matter if I wear that dress if you're not around to see me at my best I should be going it's getting late so tired of being the one who must wait Now that I realize who runs the show I'll pack my things it's time to go
