Jo The Waiter

Jo the waiter worked for me
Serving wine in basement bars
Only madmen ever stay, ";got no time";
If you're mindless please take mine

Jo the waiter held me close
Behind the door marked `gentlemen'
Just for now that's all I need
Won't someone call me `friend'?

Long gone, I recall good times
I must confess, I cried

We burned out and the line went dead
At six o'clock I felt so alone
I crawled inside, where else to go?
I could be dead for all you know

Everyday I died for you
Valium boys with painted eyes
Young men need love special
I don't think I want it at all

Long gone, I recall good times
I must confess, I cried

Me, I've retired to a back street flat
Picture `eyes in a cold steel frame'
The freaks arrive, broken needles and blood
";What you on, man, to get those eyes?";

It's very touching, I'm so close to me
False smiles I've rehearsed for days
Come inside, you won't know I'm wrong
Give me your heart, I'm so quickly gone
