Just a minute before you leave girl Just a minute before you touch the door What is it that you're tryin' to achieve girl Do you think we can talk about it some more You know the streets are filled with vipers Who've lost all ray of hope You know it's not even safe no more In the palace of the pope. Don't fall apart on me tonight I just don't think that i could handle it Don't fall apart on me tonight Yesterday's just a memory Tomorrow is never what it's supposed to be An' i need you, yeah. Come over here from over there girl Sit down here you can have my chair I can't see us goin' anywhere girl The only place is a thousand miles away An' i can't take you there I wish i'd have been a doctor Maybe i'd have saved some life that'd been lost Maybe i'd have done some good in the world 'stead of burnin' every bridge i crossed. Don't fall apart on me tonight I just don't think that i could handle it Don't fall apart on me tonight Yesterday's just a memory Tomorrow's never what it's supposed to be An' i need you, oh yeah. I ain't to good at conversation girl So you might not know exactly how i feel But if i could i'd bring you to the mountain top girl An' build you a house made out of stainless steel But it's like i'm stuck inside a painting That's hangin' in the Louvre My throat starts to tickle an' my nose itches But i know that i can't move. Don't fall apart on me tonight I just don't think that i could handle it Don't fall apart on me tonight Yesterday's gone but the past lives on Tomorrow's just one step beyond An' i need you, oh. Who are these people who are walkin' towards you Do you know them or will there be a fight With their humorless smiles so easy to see thru Can they tell you what's wrong from what's right Or do you remember St James street Where you blew Jackie P.'s mind You were so fine Clark Gable would have fell at your feet An' lay his life on the line. Let's try to get beneath the surface waste girl No more boobytraps an' bombs No more decadence an' charm No more affection that's misplaced girl No more mudcake creatures lyin' in your arms What about that millionaire with the drumsticks in his pants He looked so baffled an' so bewildered When he played an' we didn't dance. Don't fall apart on me tonight I just don't think that i could handle it Don't fall apart on me tonight Yesterday's just a memory Tomorrow's never what it's supposed to be An' i need you, yeah you, i need you.
