DRUNKEN MINDS!

THE TUNES

A DRUNKEN MIND SPEAKS A SOBER HEART
(IN THE ORIGINAL DRAFT, A CHARACTER NAMED IZZY – WHO IS NOT IN THE SHOW AT PRESENT – FINALLY DECLARES HIS LOVE FOR SUGAR – WHO STILL IS IN THE SHOW. SUGAR IS THRILLED BECAUSE SHE ALWAYS THOUGHT IZZY WAS GAY BASED ON THE COMPANY HE KEPT. IN THE CURRENT DRAFT THIS SONG IS ONLY PARTLY SUNG BY DYLAN AND HIS BAND BEFORE THEY ARE INTERUPTED WITH SOME UPSETTING NEWS. OF COURSE I AM THE WRITER SO IT DOESN’T MATTER WHAT I THINK… BUT I REALLY LIKE THIS TUNE. IT’S A GOOD, SOLID, POP TUNE AND IT WILL SHOW UP ELSEWHERE IN THE FUTURE.)


A DRUNKEN MIND SPEAKS A SOBER HEART
IZZY
WHAT I FEEL FOR YOU I TRY NOT TO FEEL
AND OUR MOMENTS ARE LIKE DIAMONDS I FEEL GUILTY WHEN I STEAL
BUT I’LL STEAL
ALL THE DIAMONDS I CAN GET MY HANDS ON
AND WHAT I MAKE OF ALL THIS I DON’T REALLY KNOW
BUT MY HEARTS A BARE STAGE AND TOUCHING YOU STARTS THE SHOW
AND I’LL GO
TO THE FRONT OF THE STAGE AND SCREAM OUT MY MISERY
SEE THERE’S YOU AND ME AND SO MUCH TIME IN A DAY
AND I WONDER WHERE YOU GO WHEN YOU GO AWAY
AND I WONDER IF YOU KNOW HOW MUCH YOU’RE SQUEEZING MY HEART
APART - APART - WE SHOULDN’T BE SO APART
THESE ARE MY FINGERS REACHING OUT FOR YOU
I’M GRASPING AT THE AIR UNTIL YOU’RE FINALLY THERE
AND DON’T YOU THINK I HAVEN’T THOUGHT THIS ALL THROUGH
IT’S JUST EASIER TO SAY IT ALL NOW
AS SOMEONE ONCE TOLD ME
OH, THE WISDOM THEY’D IMPART
A DRUNKEN MIND SPEAKS A SOBER HEART

AND SINCE I’M BEING SO HONEST TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH
I WANNA STICK TO YOUR SKIN LIKE ALL YOUR TATTOOS
YOU’RE MY MUSE
YOU NEVER KNEW IT BUT YOU’VE ALWAYS BEEN
I WANNA CRASH WITH YOU WHEN YOU CRASH INTO BED
I WANNA FEEL YOUR HAIR TUMBLING ONTO MY FACE
AND BE MACED
BY YOUR BLUE EYES SO I HAVE TO FEEL CAUSE I CAN’T SEE
SEE THERE’S YOU AND ME AND SO MUCH TIME IN A DAY
AND I WONDER WHERE YOU GO WHEN YOU GO AWAY
AND I WONDER IF YOU KNOW HOW MUCH YOU’RE SQUEEZING MY HEART
APART - APART - WE SHOULDN’T BE SO APART
THESE ARE MY FINGERS REACHING OUT FOR YOU
I’M GRASPING AT THE AIR UNTIL YOU’RE FINALLY THERE
AND DON’T YOU THINK I HAVEN’T THOUGHT THIS ALL THROUGH
IT’S JUST EASIER TO SAY IT ALL NOW
AS SOMEONE ONCE TOLD ME
OH, THE WISDOM THEY’D IMPART
A DRUNKEN MIND SPEAKS A SOBER HEART

LOOK NO FURTHER THAN THESE EYES
LOOK NO FURTHER THAN THESE EYES
INSIDE THEY’RE ASKING
INSIDE OF YOU
LOOK NO FURTHER THAN THESE EYES
LOOK NO FURTHER THAN THESE EYES
INSIDE THEY’RE ASKING
IF YOU HAVE THE TRUTH

AND I’LL THROW IT ALL OUT THERE - THROW IT ALL AT YOUR FEET
AND YOU CAN STEP ON IT ALL OR BRING IT CLOSE TO YOUR BREAST
I’M A MESS
AND I DON’T REALLY CARE CAUSE I WANT YOU THAT BAD
SEE THERE’S YOU AND ME AND SO MUCH TIME IN A DAY
AND I WONDER WHERE YOU GO WHEN YOU GO AWAY
AND I WONDER IF YOU KNOW HOW MUCH YOU’RE SQUEEZING MY HEART
APART - APART - WE SHOULDN’T BE SO APART
THESE ARE MY FINGERS REACHING OUT FOR YOU
I’M GRASPING AT THE AIR UNTIL YOU’RE FINALLY THERE
AND DON’T YOU THINK I HAVEN’T THOUGHT THIS ALL THROUGH
IT’S JUST EASIER TO SAY IT ALL NOW
AS SOMEONE ONCE TOLD ME
OH, THE WISDOM THEY’D IMPART
A DRUNKEN MIND SPEAKS A SOBER HEART

LOOK NO FURTHER THAN THESE EYES
