I hear the sonic sound of brakes As you whisper in my ear I hold your head between my sweaty hands And shout loud for all to hear Anita say the word I smell gasoline and I feel the heat As we make love standing up in the alley behind your street Glow and crumble girl I want you but I don't want your world Anita say the word, Anita say the word, Anita say the word I will walk with you, almost anywhere Back to Al's bar, with a hand in hand All them local boys will know that I'm your new man Hey, see Anita Yeah, she's my scary girl All black blue eyes, and blue blackened hair I can taste the heaven waiting there Shake and treble, broken grace I admit it, I'm in love but out of place Anita say the word, Anita say the word, the word, the word I will sleep with you in that misfit way, With the T.V. noise so loud it soothes my fears, And the flickering light that will bathe your face I wake from the drugs and the fear In the night outside the world reverberate Blue shadows in our loft downtown L.A. Outside the world reverberates I need the strength I see in her, I need the love I feel inside Talk about leaving behind the hell we're in We laugh about making it out alive Hey, see Anita Yeah, she's my pretty girl Blind eye to the world outside No more so than the rest of the world, No more so than the rest of the world, No more so than any other girl It makes no sense to me No more so than the rest of the world It makes no sense to me Yeah, Anita, say the word Yeah, come on Anita, say the word
