Luka - Live
My name is Luka
I live on the second floor
I live upstairs from you
Yes, I think you've seen me before
If you hear something late at night
Some kind of trouble, some kind of fight
Just don't ask me what it was
Just don't ask me what it was
Just don't ask me what it was
I think it's 'cause I'm clumsy
I try not to talk too loud
Maybe it's because I'm crazy
I try not to act too proud
They only hit until you cry
After that you don't ask why
You just don't argue anymore
Just don't argue anymore
Just don't argue anymore
Yes, I think I'm okay
I walked into the door again
Well, if you ask that's what I'll say
It's not your business anyway
I guess I'd like to be alone
With nothing broken, nothing thrown
Just don't ask me how I am
Just don't ask me how I am
Just don't ask me how I am
My name is Luka
I live on the second floor
I live upstairs from you
Yes, I think you've seen me before
If you hear something late at night
Some kind of trouble, some kind of fight
Just don't ask me what it was
Just don't ask me what it was
Just don't ask me what it was
Only hit until you cry
After that, you don't ask why
You just don't argue anymore
You just don't argue anymore
You just don't argue anymore
Thanks!
Thank you!
I certainly have a lot of memories connected with that song
And one of the memories I remember is that
Back then in 1987 right after the songhit come out and it was a hit at radio
But it hadn't occured to me yet to change the order of the setlist
So I was still singing at fourth in the setlist
And when I played in Minneapolis, Minnesota
We had a guest who wanted to come to the show and that was Prince
And he was a big fan of the song and he written me a letter
And he wanted to come to the show, hm, and I said: "Oh, that would be great"
So, but what I didn't realized was that Prince was not just going to come and sit in the audience
Prince wanted to come by himself, he wanted to come into the venue after everyone was sitted
And so, hm, Prince came in with his bodyguards after everyone was sitted
And he sat on the flight cases on the side of the stage and I played "Luka" fourth on the set
He got up apparently and danced and then, after the song, left the building with his bodyguards
And I never saw him
I think Mike, actually, Mike Visceglia on bass was with me at that time
I think he saw Prince dancing on the corner so that's when I found out that he was even at the show
So... Ahn...
This next song is the last song that I finished for this album
I was desperately trying to finish those last few "lyrics"
Because they needed the vocals, they needed to finish the vocals
I live on the second floor
I live upstairs from you
Yes, I think you've seen me before
If you hear something late at night
Some kind of trouble, some kind of fight
Just don't ask me what it was
Just don't ask me what it was
Just don't ask me what it was
I think it's 'cause I'm clumsy
I try not to talk too loud
Maybe it's because I'm crazy
I try not to act too proud
They only hit until you cry
After that you don't ask why
You just don't argue anymore
Just don't argue anymore
Just don't argue anymore
Yes, I think I'm okay
I walked into the door again
Well, if you ask that's what I'll say

Just don't ask me how I am
Just don't ask me how I am
Just don't ask me how I am

You just don't argue anymore
You just don't argue anymore
