Don't Turn Your Back on Love |
| Black hole hips she looks like some sort of insect buzzing across the floor |
| toward me |
| I can’t think, she’s looking at me |
| With those green eyes, shining on me like floodlights way in the back of New |
| York city |
| She said she’d take me down to Kokomo |
| We went to Kokomo, Indiana |
| Where she told me her real name was Diana, at the gas station |
| Something about her reminds me of the united states |
| Sprawling across the west and all the glory |
| And imagination |
| Highway 25 divides the great plains from the rocky mountains |
| And Colorado springs, coal-mining town |
| Some lady wrote America the beautiful |
| Sitting on top of pike’s peak up there |
| Looking way, way down, way, way down |
| And I don’t know how it happened but here we are on the dance floor together |
| After all these years and I know her real name now |
| I know who wrote America the beautiful |
| And I hear a voice singing in my ear saying |
| Don’t turn your back on love |
| No, don’t turn your back on love |
| You idiot |
| You fool |
| Don’t you do it |
| And I mean I want to go over your house whenever you want me to come over to |
| your house |
| But that’s no reason |
| To turn your back on love |
| Heartbreak is my roommate now |
| We live together, and we share the rent |
| We have long conversations before we go to sleep in bed at night |
| Ooh, long conversations |
| And I can’t lie, I’m on the street inside the street in New York City |
| Or in Boston, or Chicago, whatever city I happen to be in at the time |
| I’m on the same street |
| Mhm… |
| And heartbreak is my roommate |
| Yes it’s hard, of course it’s hard |
| It’s supposed to be hard but I can still hear her voice it’s calling |
| It’s calling, calling, but it’s whispering |
| Whispering in my ear saying |
| Don’t turn your back on love |
| No, don’t turn your back on love |
| My love, what am I supposed to do? |
| say no? |
| Something about her reminds me of the united states |
| Sprawling across the west in all the glory |
| And imagination |
| She spans the seas and the deserts and the forests and the mountains |
| She brings it all back together in one big lovely package |
| Oh, baby, oh never turn my back on love |
| Not while you’re around to whisper in my ear |
| After all these years, Diana |
| Is that what is was? |
| Don’t forget me |
| No, don’t forget me |
| I can’t forget you |
| How could I ever forget you? |
| Oh, don’t forget me |
| Don’t turn your back on love |
| I won’t turn my back on love |
| Can’t forget you |
| How could I forget you? |
