Jo the Waiter

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Jo the waiter worked for me Serving wine in basement bars Only mad men ever stay, "got no time" If you're mindless, please take mine Jo the waiter held me close Behind the door marked "gentleman" But just for now, that's all I need Won't someone call me friend? [Chorus] Long gone, I recall good times I must confess I cried [Verse 2] 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 Every day, I died for you Valium boys with painted eyes Young man need love special I don't think I want it at all [Chorus] Long gone, I recall good times I must confess I cried [Verse 3] 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
