Legião Urbana - The Last Time I Saw Richard letra (lyrics)
[Legião Urbana - The Last Time I Saw Richard letra lyrics]
Last time I saw Richard was Detroit in 68
And he told me all romantics
Meet the same fate
Someday, cynical and bitter
And boring someone in some dark cafe
You laugh, he said you think you're immune
Go look at eyes they're full of moon
You like roses and kisses and
Pretty men to tell you
All those pretty lies, pretty lies
When you gonna realize they're
Only pretty lies
Only pretty lies, pretty lies
He put a quarter in the wurlitzer
And he pushed
Three buttons and the thing began to whirl
And a waitress came by a fishnet
Stockings and a bow tie
And she said: "drink up now it's
Getting on time to close"
Richard, you haven't really changed, I said
That's just now you're romanticizing some
Pain that's in your head
You've got tombs in your in your eyes
But the songs you punched are dreaming
Listen, they talk of love so sweet
When you gonna get yourself
Back on your feet?
Oh and love can be so sweet, love so sweet
Richard got married to a figure skater
And he bought her a dish
Washer and a coffe percolator
And he drinks at home now most
Night with the TV on
And all the house lights left up bright
I'm gonna blow this damn candle out
I don't want nobody comin'over to my table
I've got nothing to talk to anybody about
All good dreamer pass this away someday
Hidin' behind bottles in dark cafes
Dark cafes only a darkness before
I get my gorgeous wings
And fly away
Only a phase, these dark cafe days
And he told me all romantics
Meet the same fate
Someday, cynical and bitter
And boring someone in some dark cafe
You laugh, he said you think you're immune
Go look at eyes they're full of moon
You like roses and kisses and
Pretty men to tell you
All those pretty lies, pretty lies
When you gonna realize they're
Only pretty lies
Only pretty lies, pretty lies
He put a quarter in the wurlitzer
And he pushed
Three buttons and the thing began to whirl
And a waitress came by a fishnet
Stockings and a bow tie
And she said: "drink up now it's
Getting on time to close"
Richard, you haven't really changed, I said
That's just now you're romanticizing some
Pain that's in your head
You've got tombs in your in your eyes
But the songs you punched are dreaming
Listen, they talk of love so sweet
When you gonna get yourself
Back on your feet?
Oh and love can be so sweet, love so sweet
Richard got married to a figure skater
And he bought her a dish
Washer and a coffe percolator
And he drinks at home now most
Night with the TV on
And all the house lights left up bright
I'm gonna blow this damn candle out
I don't want nobody comin'over to my table
I've got nothing to talk to anybody about
All good dreamer pass this away someday
Hidin' behind bottles in dark cafes
Dark cafes only a darkness before
I get my gorgeous wings
And fly away
Only a phase, these dark cafe days
