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
