0:15Black hole hips she looks like some sort of insect buzzing
0:21Across the floor toward me
0:24I can't think
0:25She's looking at me with those green eyes
0:28Shining on me like floodlights way in the back of New York city
0:43She said she'd take me down to coco-mo
0:47We went to coco-mo Indiana
0:51Where she told me her real name was Diana
0:55At the gas station
1:01Something about her reminds me of the united states
1:06Sprawling across the west and all the glory
1:14And imagination
1:21Highway 25 divides the great plains from the rocky mountains
1:26And Colorado springs
1:27Coal-mining town some lady wrote America the beautiful
1:32Sitting on top of pike's peak up there
1:38Looking way way down way way down
1:48And I don't know how it happened
1:50But here we are on the dance floor together
1:54After all these years
1:57And I know her real name now
2:00I know who wrote America the beautiful
2:04And I hear a voice singing in my ear saying
2:08Don't turn your back on love
2:12No don't turn your back on love
2:15You idiot
2:18You fool
2:19Don't you do it
2:25And I mean I want to go over your house
2:27Whenever you want me to come over to your house
2:33But that's no reason
2:38To turn your back on love
2:44Heartbreak is my roommate now
2:48We live together
2:51And we share the rent
2:53We have long conversations before we go to sleep in bed at night
2:58Ooh long conversations
3:03And I can't lie
3:04I'm on the street inside the street in New York city
3:08Or in Boston or Chicago whatever city I happen to be in at the time
3:13I'm on the same street
3:16Mhm
3:19And heartbreak is my roommate
3:21Yes it's hard of course it's hard
3:25It's supposed to be hard
3:27But I can still hear her voice it's calling
3:30It's calling calling but it's whispering
3:34Whispering in my ear saying
3:36Don't turn your back on love
3:40No
3:41Don't turn your back on love
3:44My love
3:46What am I supposed to do say no
3:53Something about her reminds me of the united states
3:58Sprawling across the west in all the glory
4:06And imagination
4:12She spans the seas and the deserts and the forests and the mountains
4:17She brings it all back together in one big lovely package
4:21Oh baby oh never turn my back on love
4:27Not while you're around to whisper in my ear
4:33After all these years Diana
4:37Is that what is was
4:39Ooh don't forget me
4:54No don't forget me
4:57I can't forget you
5:01How could I ever forget you
5:07Oh don't forget me
5:10Don't turn your back on love
5:13I won't turn my back on love
5:15Can't forget you
5:17How could I forget you
Black hole hips she looks like some sort of insect buzzing Across the floor toward me I can't think She's looking at me with those green eyes Shining on me like floodlights way in the back of New York city She said she'd take me down to coco-mo We went to coco-mo Indiana Where she told me her real name was Diana At the gas station Something about her reminds me of the united states Sprawling across the west and all the glory And imagination Highway 25 divides the great plains from the rocky mountains And Colorado springs Coal-mining town some lady wrote America the beautiful Sitting on top of pike's peak up there Looking way way down way way down And I don't know how it happened But here we are on the dance floor together After all these years And I know her real name now I know who wrote America the beautiful And I hear a voice singing in my ear saying Don't turn your back on love No don't turn your back on love You idiot You fool Don't you do it And I mean I want to go over your house Whenever you want me to come over to your house But that's no reason To turn your back on love Heartbreak is my roommate now We live together And we share the rent We have long conversations before we go to sleep in bed at night Ooh long conversations And I can't lie I'm on the street inside the street in New York city Or in Boston or Chicago whatever city I happen to be in at the time I'm on the same street Mhm And heartbreak is my roommate Yes it's hard of course it's hard It's supposed to be hard But I can still hear her voice it's calling It's calling calling but it's whispering Whispering in my ear saying Don't turn your back on love No Don't turn your back on love My love What am I supposed to do say no Something about her reminds me of the united states Sprawling across the west in all the glory And imagination She spans the seas and the deserts and the forests and the mountains She brings it all back together in one big lovely package Oh baby oh never turn my back on love Not while you're around to whisper in my ear After all these years Diana Is that what is was Ooh don't forget me No don't forget me I can't forget you How could I ever forget you Oh don't forget me Don't turn your back on love I won't turn my back on love Can't forget you How could I forget you
