The Criterion (to the Blue Note)


V1/
All these rows and rows of seats
Between the green light and me
No, I can’t believe that you don’t see
But it’s time to leave
time to leave… and she said

Chorus/
Don’t you walk away from me
Cause I’m the only one who’ll see
You’re jumping off the balcony and the chandelier
is falling
Don’t you walk away from me
When you catch us and we’re fucking
I want to hear your story, but now you’ve got me
crawling


V2/
And I can see the glowing growing
Right here in my face, And I…
It’s lighting up the silver screen
So baby I get the message, you’re getting hectic
It’s not the first time he’s been seen
No, it’s not the first
time

Chorus/
It’s gotten so goddam boring

Bridge/
That I’m scared for you
Well, I wait in the wings but I always miss my cue
So baby don’t apologize for behaving oddly
Straight up the aisle and into the lobby. Your
Criterion past I never knew, I never knew

And it’s coming on like
Knees shake. So hard to appreciate
The lump in my throat is getting stale now
And it’s harder, harder, harder to take
Knees shake. Somewhere fast or somewhere safe
And race, race, race down the fire escape
Race, race, race down the
fire

Chorus/

Ever-changing vocal outro/
Race, race, race down the fire escape
Race, race, race down the fire escape
You don’t have to be the one to walk away from me
