Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Was a tight toy night, streets so bright

The room was so thin between my bones and skin

There stood another person who was a little surprised

To be face to face with a world so alive

[Chorus]

How I fell (Did ya feel low?)

No (Huh?)

I fell right into the arms of Venus de Milo

[Verse 2]

You know it's all like some new kind of drug

My senses are sharp, and my hands are like gloves

Broadway looked so medieval

It seemed to flap like little pages

And I fell sideways laughing

With a friend from many stages

[Chorus]

How we felt (Did ya feel low?)

Not at all (Huh?)

I fell right into the arms of Venus de Milo

[Verse 3]

Suddenly, my eyes went so soft and shaky

Oh, I knew there was pain, but pain is not aching

Then Richie, Richie said

"Hey man, let's dress up like cops, think of what we could do"

But something, something

It said, "You'd better not"

[Verse 4]

And I fell (Did ya feel low?)

Nah (Huh?)

I stood up, walked out the arms of Venus de Milo
