I'm upstairs in bed, having a cigarette Having one after one, having time after time Got Blonde on Blonde on the radio But it's you, Brunette, that I've got on my mind Your lips are cold, your cheeks are pale You are my princess nocturnal But as I touch you and you blush You wake up not getting up at all I've always wanted you to know I've always wanted you to Put out my rights and wrongs and Tell me baby once again who I am I've wanted you to know that I will never win anything at all I will never win anything at all I wonder why you take turns Is that an invitation to make you mine? You've urged me to liberate my instincts The consequences now roll up in circles And we dance aside our guilt and shame You're young, no-one will blame you I'll disappear and in a year I'll write songs good enough to put you through I've wanted you to know that I will never win anything at all I will never win anything at all
