Storyville Keep a Handle on it Lyrics

Can anyone correct these lyrics? I put brackets around what the parts
that I find difficult to understand.

Keep a Handle on It Storyville

Waiting at the bus stop, hanging by a thread, listening to the beat
box banging in my head
Talking to my lover, about the [buttercup], underneath the covers, she
never wants to touch

I see the [backdoor] baby, smile on her face, all she wants is
maintain a state of grace, I’ve got a secret burning in my mind, [now
in the comfort neon, my hands just so fine]

Chorus
I know, anything goes when the full moon shines and the cold winds
blows. I know, anything goes baby if I light a candle, I can’t keep
a handle on it.

Receiving transmissions, a private radio, neighbor’s got a stick, but
little does she know, I’m receiving all the baggage, nobody wants to
claim, I bite the bullet, to swallow the shame.

Chorus
I know, anything goes when the full moon shines and the cold winds
blows. I know, anything goes baby if I light a candle, I can’t keep
a handle on it. I can’t keep a handle on it.

Bridge
Don’t make much sense, got no defense, it’s at your expense, I just
need to vent.

Solo

Chorus
I know, anything goes when the full moon shines and the cold winds
blows. I know, anything goes baby if I light a candle, I can’t keep
a handle on it.

Chorus
I know, anything goes when the full moon shines and the cold winds
blows. I know, anything goes baby if I light a candle, I can’t keep
a handle on it.

I can’t keep a handle on it.
I can’t keep a handle on it.
I can’t keep a handle on it.

Remember, his lyrics are therapeutic and autobiographical. He writes about his personal experience in all his songs. He lost all the lyrics to his songs when his computer crashed, but I'll ask him to verify these last few questionable lyrics when I see him later this afternoon. This has been fun! Thanks! Cheryl
