I caught her eye
A bit by surprise, one night
At the Old Bordello Café

She walked through the crowd
Threw a Venetian smile
And said: "I got to be on my way"

There's no need to lie down
Let's wait till the night is over
Dance with the lights on
Maybe when we both get sober, then

Sad and lonely valentines
Borsalino troupers singin' broken rhymes
She always gave 'em the looks of love
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah!

Chimneysweepers, blackened eyes
Chasin' down the muses in the radiant light
She always gave 'em the looks of love
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah!

There's no need to lie down
Let's wait till the night is over
Dance with the lights on
Maybe when we both get sober, then

Teenage lollies, Townes Van Zandt
Day dreamin' Homer at the power plant
She always gave 'em the looks of love
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah!

Drunk and lazy circus clowns
The wee howlin' prayer of a beat up hound
She always gave 'em the looks of love
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah!

There's no need to lie down
Let's wait till the night is over
Dance with the lights on
Maybe when we both get sober, then
