A dustbowl spread across the prairies The runway shimmered in the haze A toothbrush, paperback and bugspray The sunrise flickered on her face The seatbelt sign...
Simone, he knows you're gone And all that's left is heartaches And all his cool is blown Simone You're like a timebomb in his blood tonight
The airbus touches down in Cuba Her iPod is looping Gipsy Kings The tradewinds lash the Caribbean Umbrella twizzles in her drink
September skies of Havana rum God what have I done?
Simone, he knows you're gone And all that's left is heartache And all his cool is blown Simone, move on, let go Hey, all you took's the carkeys Not half of what he owns Simone God tried to fax you but there was no dialtone
Then a flare went off inside her head Like an inch of pure magnesium With a heat to thaw his frozen heart And a spark to light his beacon
And she could feel this time he'd make her whole She believed she'd soon be swooning again, Balooning again
But autumn smeared Ohio crimson The freeways shivered like a veil. And Winter blew in from Lake Erie. She glimpsed him as the vial fell.
Remembering Ah, we tamed the winds. You were Simon then...
Simone, he knows you're gone And all that's left is heartaches And all his cool is blown Simone You're like a timebomb in his blood tonight
