Don t want no Valentine - but I want you

Each misty evening near the TV, drenched in the drooling of pink marshmallow romance,
Each morning's yearning near the dusty clock - wooden ticking seconds from your life.
A pale moon shadow on the bed you sleep reveals the hunger - oh so immense,
Insomnia opens your purple room's door - to the world, where you can dive.
You hear the creepy stammering - don't be scared, it's only me
To cut your loneliness at crowd in two in through the dark for you to see...
That I don't want no bloody Valentine - I just want you instead.
Leave roses, which are red, and violets, which are blue (1), picking dust in that old rusty shop.
Not looking for sweet things, for champagne bubbles to cover up my head -
Just for some fix for the brain drilling, pounding every night, to stop.

The crowdy bus we take is never on time, never arrives at the right station.
The words we paint on the walls don't ever cave in the fragile bricks of situation.
Washed away by pouring outside, we return to the cold breath of unhappy hours -
In the small wasted room by time - the warmth of fire, crackling but still ours...
So today if we watch the springs of The Big Red Dog(2),
Won't you knock me off to sleep just like a log?
Those transparent celebration cards take too long with their replies
And those empty moans of promises won't mute until the red banner's shining dies...
So, babe, I don't want no Valentine, but I want you to know -
No cakes, no marzipans, no pies (3) can hide this February stormy flow.
The sugar pill we drink today won't cure the pain we'll face tomorrow,
But we can stay inside in this cloudy twilight of sorrow.

Please, I don't want bloody Valentine, but I want you: no rhyme or reason
In the dreaming transmissions, in the reflections  of the Nordic prison
In the open window, but there's no way for the star to twinkle (4)
During this sugar-coated sunset on the roof we sat on for a little.

4) "Twinkle, twinkle little star..." (c)
