Onward and onward and onward I go

Where no man before be bothered to go


Till the soles of my shoes are shot full of holes


And it's all downhill with a bullet




This ramblin' and rovin' has taken it's course


I'm grazing with the dinosaurs and the dear old horses

And the city streets crack and a great hole forces


Me down, my soapbox, my pulpit




The theater ceiling is silver star spangled


And the coins in my pocket go jingle-jangle


Do you love me? Do you love me?

Do you love me? Do you love me?





There's a man in the theater with girlish eyes

Who's holdin' my childhood to ransom


On the screen there's a death


There's a rustle of cloth and a sickly voice callin' me handsome




There's a man in the theater with sly girlish eyes


On the screen there's an ape, a gorilla

There's a groan, there's a cough, there's a rustle of cloth


And a voice that stinks of death and vanilla




This is a secret, mauled and mangled


And the coins in my pocket go jingle-jangle


Do you love me? Do you love me?

Do you love me? Do you love me?





The walls in the ceiling are painted in blood

The lights go down, the red curtains come apart


This air is full of smoke and dialog I know by heart


And the coins in my pocket jingle-jangle




As the great screen crackled and popped


And the clock of my boyhood was wound down and stopped

And my handsome little body oddly propped


And my trousers right down to my ankles




Yes, onward and upward

And I'm off to find love

Do you love me?


If you do, I'm thankful




Do you love me? Do you love me?

Do you love me? Do you love me?




This city is an ogre squattin' by the river

It gives life but it takes it away, my youth

There comes a time when you just cannot deliver


This is a fact, this is a stone cold truth



Do you love me? I love you, handsome


Do you love me? Yes, I love you, you are handsome

Amongst the cogs and the wires, my youth

Vanilla breath and handsome apes with girlish eyes




Dreams that roam between truth and untruth

Memories that become monstrous lies

So onward and onward and onward I go


Onward and upward and I'm off to find love



With blue-black bracelets on my wrists and my ankles

And the coins in my pocket goin' jingle-jangle


Do you love me? Do you love me?

Do you love me? Do you love me?




Do you love me? Do you love me?

Do you love me? Do you love me?
