monotov's private opera

every moment of your life

is a chance to get it right

any moment you've been living in

you could turn it on like a light

all the weight of the years

has got me burstin' into tears

standin' here with nothin'

i stand alone inside my fears

like an atom reveals a deeper state

well i swear for me tonight

it's not too late

to tell you baby

it's you and only you and no one else

and i'll mean it

even when i'm talking to myself

i said maybe

it's you and only you and no one else

how i miss moscow

those people really know

how to have a good time

in a mixed up state of mind

and monotov's private opera is closed

so i guess i'll go home now

cause there's no wheres else to go

and i will tell you baby

it's you and only you and no one else

and i will mean it

even when i'm talking to myself

i said baby

it's you and only you and no one else

you and no one else

now i'm stuck inside a poem

and then i'm walkin by myself

in the dark

all alone

and these actors and dramatists

they won't send me home

well

maybe i'm like my father

strung out on something or another

held to a standard

we were always sinking under

and maybe i'm like my mother

she shattered cause no one loved her

maybe i

maybe i am like no other

and some moments are more real than the books i've read

and a good woman

maybe she meant what she said

cause to feel you now ya know

it goes straight to my head

so i'll tell you baby

it's you and only you and no one else

and i will mean it

even when i'm talkin' to myself

i said baby

it's you and only you and no one else

talkin' to myself

talkin' to myself

and everything changed in a day

and i know another one on the way

and i'll tell you

everything changed in a day

and i know another one is on the way
