lyrics

An August night
Left the driveway — the engine froze
Is that smell from your perfume or your hair?
Blonde peroxide, please tell me it’s the carbon monoxide
Rising up as you ask me, do I think of other girls?
What am I gonna say now?
Steer clear of the truth

At 5:30 you come around early just to sit in my backyard
With half an empty wineglass after you skipped the graduation
Of your pricey education but you don’t care
For leaves of ivy, towers of ivory or the alumni of the erudite
That don’t mean a thing

Please understand I just mean to calm you down when you’re upset
But these futile attempts only seem to wear me out and dig me in
But the halogen lights don’t shine that bright in the dark, in the gloom
As something heavy looms
I’m wondering if I can make light
So, I won’t have to make right

After a trip to London you return with a firm job offer
Then you asked me if I’d go, I said “I don’t know”
But I know that where the heart goes, the body follows
It could be a Visa and a paid vacation or loneliness and a trial separation
What am I gonna say now?
Guess I’ll try the truth
