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