Where you blew Jackie P's mind
'Stead of burning every bridge I crossed
I just don't think that I could handle it
Yesterday's gone but the past live on
No more booby traps and bombs, no more decadence and charm
Can they tell you what's wrong and what's right
Tomorrow's never what it's supposed to be
Maybe I'd have saved some life that had been lost
Who are these people that are walking towards you
When he played and we didn't dance
And I can't take you there
I can't see us goin' anywhere, girl
Yesterday's just a memory
Don't fall apart on me tonight
You were so fine, Clark Gable would have fell at your feet
Don't fall apart on me tonight
Come over here from over there, girl
I just don't think that I could handle it
I ain't too good at conversation, girl
Don't fall apart on me tonight
You know the streets are filled with vipers
I just don't think that I could handle it
My throat starts to tickle and my nose itches
Do you know them or will there be a fight
Don't fall apart on me tonight
Yesterday's just a memory
Let's try to get beneath the surface waste, girl
Tomorrow's never what it's supposed to be
Tomorrow's just one step beyond
And I need you, yeah
I just don't think that I could handle it
What is it that you're trying to achieve, girl?
Maybe I'd have done some good in the world
No more affection that's misplaced, girl
And laid his life on the line
Tomorrow's never what it's supposed to be
And build you a house made out of stainless steel
Sit down here, you can have my chair
Don't fall apart on me tonight
So you might not know exactly how I feel
Don't fall apart on me tonight
He looks so baffled and so bewildered
But I know that I can't move
You know, it's not even safe no more
Don't fall apart on me tonight
What about that millionaire
No more mud cake creatures lying in your arms
The only place open is a thousand miles away
But it's like I'm stuck inside a painting
But if I could, I'd bring you to the mountaintop, girl
Yesterday's just a memory
And I need you, oh
In the palace of the Pope
Do you think we can talk about it some more?
Or do you remember St. James Street
Who've lost all ray of hope
And I need you, oh yeah
I wish I'd have been a doctor
Don't fall apart on me tonight
That's a hanging in the Louvre
With the drumsticks in his pants
With their humorless smiles so easy to see through
