VERSURI ELLIS PAUL
| Ellis Paul - 3,000 Miles |
| My name is Robert Wilson,
I'm from Eau Claire, Wisconsin.
I've been living out of a
suitcase now for fourteen days...
I walked the boulevard in Hollywood,
I caught a Vegas show that was no good - |
| Ellis Paul - All My Heroes Were Junkies |
| In 1968, he did shots with the Doors at the
Whiskey-a-Go-Go
It was on one of those hot Hollywood summer
nights
He says, Jimmy came in tight leather slacks, it
was hot as hell
But we were drinking Jac |
| Ellis Paul - All Things Being The Same |
| She is searching for some form of salvation
In the corner of a bar down the street,
But the gin controls whole conversations
And plays magic tricks with her feet...
She gets up, falls down, breaks e |
| Ellis Paul - Angel |
| Needle in my hand
Got a forearm rubber band
Got a golden liquid in a tube
I'm gonna do a vessel jam
Got lots of money
Got lots and lots and lots of time
I think, I think I might be
I think, I think |
| Ellis Paul - Angel In Manhattan |
| Tell the man who repairs the wings for angels
That one has fallen among the mortals on Bleeker
Street
I lent a hand, she looked up at the steeples
As if to blame them for the pavement beneath her
feet
|
| Ellis Paul - Blizzard |
| Weather advisory, one for the diaries
Windy and cold so stay off the road
It's bitter outside your windows
Stack your blankets, light your candles
There isn't a phone booth, and ain't it the cold
tr |
| Ellis Paul - Changing Your Name |
| I judged the distance
To where you ran your hand through your hair
You were startled for an instant , you said,
Take me home, and I paid the fare.
And you laughed the laugh of the innocent
As the |
| Ellis Paul - Did I Ever Know You |
| So you found yourself a corner apartment
With a view of the town all your own
All your friends say
The city's gonna kill you or cure you
Five flights of stairs to your home
And even now,
It's change |
| Ellis Paul - Friday Night |
| The moon must know it's Friday, he's been drinking
all night
Crooning and swooning,
he says come dance in the half-light
So you whirl out a step, choreographed by wine
And you dance with the moon, the |
| Ellis Paul - Here She Is |
| If you could paint her, she'd be a Picasso.
She's got a few things out of place.
Like when she smiles, it's slightly out of line.
It's half awkward, yet half grace.
While you're unraveling this myste |
| Ellis Paul - Lay Your Wager Down |
| You're my flesh and blood
But we're not the same
a common name
and now
a common distance
I looked up to you
in your plush armchair
respect or fear
I couldn't see the difference
Lay your w |
| Ellis Paul - Looking For My Friends |
| This time let's not bring up my disasters,
Or put me on some couch like Sigmund Freud.
Your textbooks filled with hypothetical answers.
So summarize, she called it null and void.
What do you want me |
| Ellis Paul - Midnight Strikes Too Soon |
| Cathy's hailing a cab like she's hailing a storm
unto the streets of New York City
ONce we're inside, it's a carnival ride
that brings a white knuckle kind of dizzy
She takes me up on her rooftop,
fr |
| Ellis Paul - River |
| While Hollywood sleeps,
A young man is dying
On the concrete of a sidewalk downtown.
As his brother weeps,
The sirens come calling
And the medics feed him lines on the ground.
Run, river, run...
|
| Ellis Paul - Say Something |
| Carrie's a cold one, colder than the winter sun
I should warn you, you better dress for it
And I'm not the only one that thinks so
Beauty is skin deep, and yes, she is thick-skinned
But what's that |
| Ellis Paul - Seize The Day |
| She comes to my bed like a whisper
Slips in the sheet like a ghost
Says to my ear Hey mister,
You need to take this girl to the coast
I need to kick my feet up in the ocean
Feel the taste of salt sea |
| Ellis Paul - Seven |
| Seven times I traced your number
Just one finger to your voice
Seven times I put the receiver down
Seven times I tried to write you
But I cannot make your choice
Your lips they move,
But they make no |
| Ellis Paul - Trolley Car |
| It's a snowy night, the cops shut down the freeway
big men in plows are out carving up the streets
Below them, jammed on a subway,
I'm with two hundred over-dressed strangers
brushing snow off coat |
| Ellis Paul - When We Begin |
| The black strapless dress fits just right
The calendar’s marked 6 Friday night
She puts on a little makeup
First time since the break up
But if she's moving on, she's gonna do it right
Chorus
