Lyrics

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
How I fell
Did ya feel low?
Nah
Huh?!
I fell right into the arms of Venus de Milo
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
How we felt
Did ya feel low?
Not at all
Huh?!
I fell right into the arms of Venus de Milo
Suddenly my eyes went so soft and shaky
Oh 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 better not."
And I fell
Did ya feel low?
Nah
Huh?!
I stood up, walked out of the arms of Venus de Milo
