I remember photographs Watercolors of the past He turned and said - You ask much of me Then, when we'd made our peace, We lay between the sheets He turned and said, I set you free Go on, be a hero, be a photograph Make your own myths Christ, I hope they last Longer than mine Wider than the sky we measure time by Go on, be a hero, I set you free Your stagehand lovers have conquered me They'll send you carnations, While smiling faces look on and applaud Go on, go on, go 'way from me I said, do you wish me dead? Lip service to books you've read Articles on how to bed a bird in flight You called it love, I called it greed You say, you take what you want I say, you get what you need Go on, be a hero, be a man Make your own destiny if you can Go find a fence, locate a shell And hide yourself Go on, go to hell, go away from me I need no charity He said, come unto me I am beauty I am the light Come unto me Hold the darkness and stay the night For I am wonder, I am the heart's delight Tomorrow we'll fight Come on come on, come near to me Come be my fantasy We'll talk it over again sometime I'll send you some flowers To change your mind, But for tonight, turn out the light Hold me Come on, come on and set me free Lend me your charity
