What's The Frequency Kenneth

"What's the frequency, Kenneth?" is your Benzedrine, uh-huh

I was brain-dead, locked out, numb, not up to speed

I thought I'd pegged you an idiot's dream

Tunnel vision from the outsider's screen

I never understood the frequency, uh-huh

You wore our expectations like an armored suit, uh-huh

I'd studied your cartoons, radio, music, tv, movies, magazines

Richard said, "Withdrawal in disgust is not the same as apathy"

A smile like the cartoon, tooth for a tooth

You said that irony was the shackles of youth

You wore a shirt of violent green, uh-huh

I never understood the frequency, uh-huh

"What's the frequency, Kenneth?" is your Benzedrine, uh-huh

Butterfly decal, rearview mirror, dogging the scene

You smile like the cartoon, tooth for a tooth

You said that irony was the shackles of youth

You wore a shirt of violent green, uh-huh

I never understood the frequency, uh-huh

You wore our expectations like an armored suit, uh-huh

I couldn't understand

You said that irony was the shackles of youth, uh-huh

I couldn't understand

You wore a shirt of violent green, uh-huh

I couldn't understand

I never understood, don't fuck with me, uh-huh

strange currencies

(edward hopper - new york movie)

Non so perchè mi sembri insignificante

quando ti parlo al telefono.

E non so cosa conti per me,

ma voglio eccitarti, tirarti su, cercare di capirti,

voglio tenerti vicino a me.

Queste parole, "sarai mia"

queste parole, "sarai mia", in tutti i momenti.

Pazzo potrebbe essere il mio secondo nome

ma sarei ancora più sciocco se non dicessi

che farò tutto quello che serve,

telefonarti, farti scendere, segnare il tuo nome, amore segreto,

metterlo in rima, accoglierti, e farti mia.

Queste parole, "sarai mia"

queste parole, "sarai mia" per tutto il tempo, oh

Sono inciampato e caduto. Sì, sono caduto.

Quello che voglio provare, lo voglio provare adesso

Tu sai che l'amore arriva con strane vie

ed ecco il mio appello:

ho bisogno di una possibilità, una seconda possibilità, una terza, una quarta,

una parola, un segno, un cenno del capo, un lieve respiro

soltanto per illudermi, per trattenermi, per renderlo reale, reale

Queste parole, "sarai mia"

queste parole, "sarai mia", in ogni istante, oh

Queste parole, "sarai mia"

Queste parole, mi perseguitano, mi inseguono,

afferrano la mia gola, mi fanno pregare,

mi fanno dire,

l'amore è imprigionato, oh

tongue

call my name, here I come.

90 to nothing, watch me run.

you call.

I am ashamed to say.

ugly girls know their fate.

anybody can get laid.

you want a room with a fire escape.

I want to tell you how much I hate this.

don't leave that stuff all over me. it pains me.

please just leave it.

I should toss that vanity license plate.

toss that make-up painted face.

box those poems, chocolate cake.

scratch that name on the record player.

please just leave me be.

don't lay that stuff all over me.

it crawls all over. all over me.

call my name, here I come.

your last ditch lay, will I never learn?

caramel turn on a dusty apology.

it crawls all over me.

you turn all over.

it pains me.

please just leave it.
