lyrics

Well she’s got mineshaft eyes, hair like diamonds
And the sun don’t break across her face
And I know she kept the ticket on my heart
I know I can be replaced
Time waits for no man, but he does for her
Every street’s got catwalk lights
The fire-touched Mediterranean coast
Comes alive in the sleepless nights

Well she don’t have to worry about the taxi queues
Or the paint dripping off the walls
She came to me right out of the courtyard mist
Now I come every time she calls

Well come on, tell me, what you gonna do to me next?
I hope it’s something I don’t expect
Come here, I’ll tell you, what I’m gonna do to you now
I’ll keep you alive
Baby, you won’t be going home tonight

I don’t know just what keeps her awake at night
But it’s the same thing that haunts my room
When she puts that shell up against her ear
That ain’t the sea she’s listening to

The trees are out there swinging, on the forest path
Trapdoor lovers are waiting in the east
Where the sunlight frames the statue of Venus
She just stands amongst the falling leaves
With a smile that all the collectors want
And a heart made of liquid stone
She throws clocks and swords up into the air
Straight through the church windows

Well the lightning’s gonna strike up the band
The thunder’s picking the wine
The dust beneath her sandals is stirring up a storm
And it’s one that just suits her fine

So come on, tell me, what you’re gonna do to me next
I hope it’s something I don’t expect
Come here, I’ll tell you, what I’m gonna do to you now
I’ll keep you alive
Baby, you won’t be going home tonight
You won’t be going home tonight
