Desire

The sun

Blowing the moon away

Lights me up for

One more day

The streets are naked

In the morning sun

The night lifts behind me

I run and run

Morning heat

Puts a thin film of sweat on my face

A little man, his eyes half closed

Puts chairs on tables

Admires his work

And collects a quarter from the floor

I head over to Broadway

Where I watch myself

Having a slow breakfast

Trying to impress the barman with a fresh voice

When I ask for the bill

The sun

Blowing the moon away

Lights me up for

One more day

The streets are naked

In the morning sun

The night lifts behind me

I run and run

Desire

Desire for the unknown eyes

Desire for the unknown name

I'm burning in the morning sun, I want to run

Desire for the unknown name

Desire for the unknown love

I'm burning in the morning sun
