Hey there tragic one
I saw your ghost in Kensington
The sly sentry of the alleyway
A wounded soldier from the bad old days
And it took me somewhere
I haven't been for years and years
Old appetites like souvenirs
I turned around, you disappeared
Into a street steeped in silence
The sweet peace and quiet
The lights never go down
A thousand shooting stars in Chinatown
Reflected in your eyes, electric blue
A kiss lingers like a deja-vu
But all the lovers crash
And echo under the overpass
They lie pinned beneath their memories
A million colliding destinies
Stain the street, pierce the silence
Ah, the sweet peace and quiet
We cursed a dishrag sky
We vowed to change the weather
You donned your widest eyes
I said "never say never"
And even though we lied
We swore we stay this way forever
And is it funny how you seem just like a rumour now?
A conversation that I overheard
The frail echo of a foreign word
And is it funny or sad?
Sometimes we just walk away
No bittersweet remembrance day
Why do you think that we do that?
To defeat peace and quiet
To cheat peace and quiet
If you don your widest eyes
I'll say "never say never"
If you don your widest eyes
Time will change the weather
This time we'll get it right

When Zoe ate her birthday cake
She threw icing on the wall
And they sent her to her room
No more birthdays 'til next June
But don't they know it's lovely though
To watch the icing fall?
And to see the tracks it makes
Sticky streams of chocolate cake
But wasn't it her brother Joe
Who egged her on the throw?
"be like that famous pitcher
In that late night picture show, picture show."
As Zoe cried herself to sleep
She vowed to show them all
"you will see that I am great
'specially now that I am eight."
