about

A disco riff on TS Eliot's "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock."

lyrics

“Let us go then, you and I,”
Says the boy with the roving eye,
Reeking of ether and cheap hotels,
Empty streets and oyster shells.

But everything looks better in soft light.
Everything looks better when lit from above.
Everything looks better at midnight.
Everything looks good when you’re falling in love.

All his buddies come and go
Speaking of Joe DiMaggio.
You forgive his thinning hair, and
Reach out to him as he hits the stair.

'Cause everything looks better in soft light.
Everything looks better when lit from above.
Everything looks better at midnight.
Everything looks good when you’re falling in love.

Ragged claws along the beach,
Yellow fog and a runny peach.
Dawn breaks and, unrehearsed.
You disturb his universe

'Cause everything looks better in soft light.
Everything looks better when lit from above.
Everything looks better at midnight.
Everything looks good when you’re falling in love.
