[00:20.00]
[00:40.00]
[00:59.15]	The last time I saw Richard was Detroit in '68
[01:02.16]	And he told me all romantics meet the same fate someday
[01:07.60]	Cynical and drunk and boring someone in some dark cafe
[01:16.11]	"You laugh," he said, "You think you're immune,
[01:19.90]	Go look at your eyes, they're full of moon
[01:23.00]	You like roses and kisses and pretty men to tell you
[01:27.29]	All those pretty lies, pretty lies
[01:33.91]	When you gonna realize they're only pretty lies
[01:39.00]	Only pretty lies, just pretty lies"
[01:49.13]
[01:56.54]	He put a quarter in the Wurlitzer
[01:59.10]	And he pushed three buttons and the thing began to whirr
[02:03.41]	And a bar maid came by in fishnet stockings and a bow tie
[02:07.64]	And she said, "Drink up now it's gettin' on time to close"
[02:12.87]	"Richard you haven't really changed," I said, “
[02:16.40]	"It's just that now you're romanticizing some pain that's in your head “
[02:20.49]	You got tombs in your eyes, but the songs you punched are dreaming
[02:25.79]	Listen, they sing of love so sweet, love so sweet
[02:31.60]	[When you gonna go get yourself back on your feet?
[02:36.54]	Oh love can be so sweet, love so sweet.
[02:45.95]
[02:52.39]	Richard got married to a figure skater
[02:56.10]	And he bought her a dishwasher and a coffee percolator
[03:00.22]	And he drinks at home now most nights with the TV on
[03:04.10]	And all the house lights left up bright
[03:09.97]	I'm gonna blow this damn candle out
[03:12.47]	I don't want nobody comin' over to my table
[03:15.00]	I got nothing to talk to anybody about
[03:18.48]	All good dreamers pass this way some day
[03:21.19]	Hidin' behind bottles in dark cafes, dark cafes
[03:27.80]	Only a dark cocoon before I get my gorgeous wings and fly away
[03:34.96]	Only a phase, these dark cafe days.
