lyrics

Your jail sentence jewellery
packed up with my tomfoolery
in your case
inside folded late edition newspapers
telling of crimes of passion
committed in haste
you called a taxi from the coast
driven by one of your
previous lovers’ ghosts
he’s calling at three
but he ain’t calling for me
the way you’re looking
you hardly can wait
for the freeze-out

Your high-wire security
is protected the cruelty that you wear
it’s murderously beautiful
as it hovers through the fog
and through your hair
you’ve got a list of famous people
who can’t be loved
they can only be bought
jack-knife justice blinds
my telephone lines
the way you’re leaving
you’re leaving me in no doubt
this is the freeze-out

TV Cubans whisper crisp conundrums
In these doldrums of the days we’ve spent
after all the future promised
I’m confounded
by just too much present tense
of all the hours God gave me
there are none I’d rather be without
God wears different clothes
but everybody knows
you’re naked on fortune’s roundabout
spinning into the freeze-out...

While heavens hammer window panes
it’s Cupid’s rain that twists into my soul
the person whom I spoke to
had your name
but that was all
may your roses bloom
in somebody else’s room
you were always driven by your heart
the clouds are opening
the weather exploding
I surrender to nature’s invisible art
of a freeze-out

This is the freeze-out
