There's a book on the backseat
Of your dreamed up old car
Though you're sitting right next to me
I still don't know quite who you are
Your dark sunglasses cover your eyes
And I still don't know whether a heart beats inside
Of your chest, that's the test:
Will you walk by my side 'till the end?
Lay my glass on the table
Of our old makeshift bar
I used to thing we were angels
Now I'm not so sure that we are
Your dark sunglasses cover the eyes of a snake
And that's how you live: seeking the rules you can break
But I'm sure I'd give all that I could for your sake
Because there was a time when we'd dine at the Ritz
Now it's just too much to lose
And the fault's divine that it's all come to this
Which makes it easier to choose
I called up hoping you were home
Seems I was almost to late
My voice got stuck in the ansaphone
With no chance of escape
We're both part of the ineffable plan for this world
Hold my heart and just tell me that I'm being absurd
But you speak like no demon that I've ever heard
Well there was a time when we'd dine at the Ritz
Now it's just too much to lose
And the fault's divine that it's all come to this
Which makes it easier to choose
