    letra de New York Is My Destination

    New York is my destination.

    New York is where I will be from.

    New York is made for grander things.

    Just. Like. Me.



    I will lunch at the Algonquin.

    Swing by the Plaza, waltz on in.

    The Three Arts Club, I'll live there,

    Indefinitely.



    New York is made for grander things

    Just. Like. Me.



    Literati,

    Yes, they will love me.

    Paparazzi,

    Well, could it be?

    Glitterati,

    Will they know of me?

    New York's waiting for me.



    All of the tales of seduction.

    Glittering on the horizon.

    Mountains of fame. And fortune. And snow

    Finally.



    New York is made for grander things

    Just. Like. Me.



    Literati,

    Yes, they will love me.

    Paparazzi,

    Well, could it be?

    Glitterati,

    Will they know of me?

    New York's waiting for me.



    Practice at the Parnassus

    Cram for Columbia classes

    Ride the 5th Avenue busses

    Weave some tale about us...



    I lost all my money for Juilliard.

    I hid in the phone booth at ????'s.

    I slept in a brothel, on the way to

    Destiny.



    New York is made for grander things

    Just. Like. Me.



    Literati,

    Yes, they will love me.

    Paparazzi,

    Well, could it be?

    Glitterati,

    Will they know of me?

    New York's waiting for me.



    New York is made for grander things.

    Just. Like. Me.

    letra de Instant Of The Hour After

    That's enough. Out of you.

    Tonight. My darling.

    This show is over for now.

    The monkey is dead.

    I detest all this drunken brawling.

    Now let's see if you can make it into this bed.



    How I love you. How I loathe you.



    It's a sharp, quick love. I feel. My darling.

    You're not as drunk as you seem. So why pretend.

    On your cheek, that sweet shadow falling.

    The pulse in your neck, how I'll know it, right to the end.

    How I love you. How I loathe you.



    All you can say is:

    "Reverberating vacuity."

    "Lousy simile."

    "Vacant majesty."



    In the instant of the hour after.



    But right now. It's you and me.

    My darling.

    Trapped here inside of this bottle, drowning like flies.

    When the frenzy's over.

    We're crawling.

    Specimens. Spent and exhausted,

    We press to the sides.



    How I love you. How I loathe you.

  4. We Of MeVer letra 2:52

    [X]

    letra de We Of Me

    My squeezed heart divides

    Into two wide wings

    The world is

    A sudden place

    If you don't

    Belong to anything



    Noah may have got it wrong

    There's one more

    That could belong



    This must be the

    Irony of Fate

    That I and the world

    Are always separate



    All other people

    Have a we to claim

    Except for me

    And my own name



    I belong to be

    With the two of you

    And we make three

    As a family

    That is why

    You're the we of me

    We of me



    I belong to be

    With the two of you

    And we make three

    As a family

    That is why

    You're the we of me

    We of me



    Noah's ark admitted, only two by two

    We know this isn't always true

    Noah may have got it wrong

    There's one more that could belong



    I belong to be

    With the two of you

    We make three

    As a family

    That is why

    You are the we of me

    The we of me



    That is why

    You are the we of me

    The we of me



    That is why

    You are the we of me

    The we of me

  5. AnnemarieVer letra 3:18

    [X]

    letra de Annemarie

    I saw your face

    I'd knew you'd haunt me

    For all... of my life.

    Rising above me.

    If you could want me, I'd be

    No man's wife.



    Everyone sees you

    Everyone knows you

    How can I possibly compare?

    Who could attain you, with

    All of your pain, who could

    Possibly hold one so fair?

    Terror, pity, love.

    Annemarie.



    Brilliant and stormy

    Her perfect beauty

    She moves through the world. With

    Money and family

    She glitters with trouble she's that

    Kind of girl



    Everyone wants you

    Everyone loves you

    How can I possibly compete?

    Who can explain you

    With all of your pain, who

    Could possibly make you complet

    Terror pity love.

    Annemarie.



    If I could see God

    His face would be sacred

    Like yours... Annemarie

    But God's face is hidden and

    Your face is suddenly

    All I can see



    Everyone worships you

    Everyone needs you

    How can I possibly complain?

    Who will contain you,

    With all of your pain, could I

    Gather up all that you remain?

    Terror pity love.

    Annemarie.

  6. 12 Mortal Men 2:47
  7. Harper LeeVer letra 3:43

    [X]

    letra de Harper Lee

    Virginia Woolf

    She leaves me cold

    I recognize the genius

    But I'm twice as bold



    I have more to say

    Than Hemingway

    Lord knows, compared to Faulker

    I say it in a better way



    Graham Greene

    He loves me

    He loves my poetic

    Sensibility



    Katherine Anne Porter

    Might be the best one now

    But in about a year

    I'm gonna show her how



    Yes I will



    Said to Reeves the other day

    Proust really is the man

    Who comforts me in a way

    No other writer can



    The timeless quality of the work

    The length! Is very long

    Believe me Marcel Proust goes on

    And on and on and on. 7 volumes



    Oh, Harper. Harper

    Lee. Lee. Lee

    She only wrote that one book

    I've written more than three



    Darling Tennessee Williams

    It's anybody's guess

    Why "Streetcar" made millions

    And "Wedding" so much less



    I will forever be pondering that one



    Oh, Harper. Harper

    Lee. Lee. Lee

    Why do they always compare her to me

    To me



    Won't even talk about

    Eudora Welty

    As for F. Scott, my Sad Cafe

    Is greater than his Gatsby

    I'm just telling you

    What someone told me they read

    I never look at my reviews

    They might give me the big head

    Now Truman Capote was hypnotized

    Mesmerized. Cause he realized

    That I knew that he knew

    That he had plagiarized



    My cadences!

    Imagine his surprise,

    You'll see it in his eyes

    When I win that Nobel Prize



    Thank you. Thank you so very much



    Harper. Harper

    Lee. Lee. Lee

    Why do they always compare her to me

    To me



    She always seems to be receiving

    More than she deserves

    Honey, she's poaching on

    My literary preserves



    Yes from Harper Lee

    We have seen and we've heard and

    I'd like to kill more than just

    That mocking bird



    You know, sometimes I really would

    So you just wait until next year

  8. Lover, BelovedVer letra 3:24

    [X]

    letra de Lover, Beloved

    Lover Beloved

    Behold each of these

    The lover pursues.

    The beloved one fLees.



    Lover Beloved

    From countries apart

    Each one alone

    In the land of the heart

    Each one alone in the land of the heart



    Lover Beloved

    Forever stripped bare.

    Turn in the night

    And it's he who is there



    Liar and lover

    And hero, and thief

    Turn in the night

    And he brings no relief

    Brother, or husband

    He brings no relief



    The man across the Styx, will send

    Flowers from beyond the end

    The man across the Styx will be

    Her lover for eternity



    Lover Beloved

    Her brave cavalier

    All of his love

    Raising hatred and fear



    Lover Beloved

    Each craving the touch

    Each bears the burden

    Of loving too much

    Each bears the burden

    Of loving too much



    The man across the Styx, will send

    Flowers from beyond the end

    The man across the Styx will be

    Her lover for eternity



    Lover Beloved

    Behold both of these.

    Lover pursues.

    Beloved one flees.



    Lover Beloved

    From countries apart

    Each one alone

    In the land of the heart

    Each one alone in the land of the heart.

  9. The Ballad Of Miss AmeliaVer letra 4:18

    [X]

    letra de The Ballad Of Miss Amelia

    On any southern afternoon

    If anyone would care to look

    A face appears inside a house

    A terrible face

    It is sexless

    And white

    It is dim

    Like the faces

    In dreams...



    It's Miss Amelia

    She's waiting by the window

    Remembering the laughing

    In the cafe down below



    Once Miss Amelia

    Married a man

    She married Marvin ????

    No one could understand



    She must have done it for the presents

    Cause she didn't like him much

    And even on their wedding night

    She wouldn't let him touch



    Well, he hung around the doorways

    Acting foolish with bliss

    Until he came too close one day

    She swung once with her fist



    Miss Amelia was a strong woman

    She was big and tall

    Swung once and Marvin ????

    Well he fell against the wall



    Now Miss Amelia is

    Sitting by the shutters

    Remembering the laughing

    In the cafe long ago...



    After Marvin ????

    Had long gone away

    A little hunchback came to town

    And this is strange to say



    That Miss Amelia who had never loved

    She fell in love with him

    He was a skipping little troublemaker

    Still she took him in



    And so they lived together

    And were happy for a time

    Everybody came around

    And they would drink and dine



    Miss Amelia made a whiskey

    It was fine and it was rare

    Would warm a man into his soul

    And show' the writing there



    Miss Amelia's story

    Is simple and sad

    Marvin ????, he returned to town

    With all the evil that he had



    The skipping little hunchback

    He was quite impressed

    With Marvin Macy's history

    Of robbery and the rest



    I will not get specific

    But just let it now be said

    There was terrible light one night

    And Miss Amelia was ahead

    Until the little hunchback

    Jumped in on Marvin Macy's side



    Everybody all agreed

    That's the night the cafe died



    On any southern afternoon

    If anyone would care to look

    A face appears inside a house

    A terrible face

    It is sexless and white

    It is dim

    Like the faces

    In dreams



    It's Miss Amelia

    She's waiting by the window

    Remembering the laughing

    In the cafe down below



    It's Miss Amelia

    Sitting by the shutters

    Remembering the laughing

    In the cafe long ago...
