Charles Bukowski
Friday Night On the Astral Plane
No well-meaning friends
Sayin' bad things
No friends' telephone
That only seldom rings
No lingering doubts
That try to bring me down
Can turn my love around
All the love I've found
There is nothing in this world that can stop me from loving you
The way that I do, no baby
There is nothing in this world that can stop me from loving you
The way that I do, no baby
There is nothing in this world that can stop me from loving you (Girl)
The way that I do (Girl)
How, how you like
There is nothing in this world that can stop me from loving you
The way that I do, no baby
Nothin' baby
Nothin' baby
Oh baby
I would like to be alone
Like the phone rings too often
There's, uh, too many cameras in our lives
And I've kinda accepted, but it's not me
When these things are gone
I go back to the room
And I become myself again
Oftentimes
I'll pull down all the shades like I used to
And just lay down in the room for five to six hours
Just alone
Just lay on that bed
Get something back
Some kind of juice
Just being away from people
Is one of the most marvelous fulfillments
A man like me could have
Just the absence of humanity
Is a fulfillment so graceful
That even God wouldn't understand if he invented them
He probably didn't
There is nothing in this world that can stop me from loving you
The way that I do, oh baby
There is nothing in this world that can stop me from loving you
The way that I do, oh honey
There is nothing in this world that can stop me from loving you
The way that I do
