It Couldn't Be Me |
We’re driving through the canyons |
Singing songs from the sixties |
The telephone rang, she said |
«Babe, do ya miss me?» |
And ain’t it a shame not to love |
The one you’re with |
Well, she spoke with the prettiest mouth |
And she scorned me |
She sharpened her teeth |
And flashed them to warn me |
Said, «Ain't it a shame when you hate |
The one you loved?» |
Hey, it couldn’t be me |
It couldn’t be me |
No, they’re mining your dreams |
He don’t look a thing like me |
See, I dated this rich girl |
With a mother of pearl |
Who paid rent in her high rise |
The weight of the world |
And ain’t it a shame when you’re exchanging |
All your brand new gifts |
And after a night on the floor |
She put the chain on her door |
I wore out my welcome |
I guess she got bored |
'Cause she laid eyes on my brother |
And laid him across my bed |
And it couldn’t be me |
It couldn’t be me |
No, they’re mining your dreams |
He don’t look a thing like me |
Well, it sounds like rain |
And here, that’s a rare thing |
Out here in this desert |
We’re stealing our water |
From a hole in a mountain |
That flows to the affordable homes |
And from a faucet, it drips |
So we’ll clean up the messes |
The others have left us |
Well I think they blessed us |
There’s a chain on my door |
But I’m in love with the one I’m with |
Hey, it couldn’t be me |
It couldn’t be me |
No, they’re mining your dreams |
He don’t look a thing like me |
And it couldn’t be me |
No, it couldn’t be me |
No, they’re mining your dreams |
He don’t look a thing like me |
