The House Jack Kerouac Built — текст песни (Go-betweens, The)

You and I together, with nothing showing at all,
In a darkened cinema, I`ll give you pleasure in the stalls.
Want to give you tenderness, and my affection too.
If it`s through clenched teeth, that`s what you driven me
to

I want us to be lovers
I want us to be friends
Want it like; it`s the living end.
Keep me away from her.

With your kittens. on the patchwork quilt,
Oh no, what am I doing here, in the house Jack Kerouac built.
There`s white magic, and bad rock`n`roll,
Your friend there says, he`s the gatekeeper to my soul.
The velvet curtains
The Chinese bell
With friends like these; you`re damned as well.
Keep me away from her.

Shake off your despondency, and your country girl act.
You are reading me poetry, that`s Irish, and so black.
I know you`re warm, the warmest person alive,
But are you warm, deep down inside?
I want us to be lovers
I want us to be friends
Want it like; the world crumbles and then it ends.
Keep me away from her.

Baby, I`m lonely.
You`re on the road with a bad crowd.
