My love has gone
His boots no longer by my door
He left at dawn and as I slept, I felt him go
(Loop of Erik Satie, as in Pet Shop Boys Jack The Lad)
New York, New York, temperatures droppin
The bands out shoppin, not stoppin til ears pop
Cops protect shops, lots of yellow cabs and bellhops
And it never stops
Im waitin to do an interview, so much to tell you
Today I feel close enough to smell you
Additional dates they were plannin just fell through
Floridas out
We fly September 22 to Heathrow,
but theres not really long to go
Tonight will be a brilliant show
Lettin you know I miss you
More than four hits the floor at a party
Send my love to everybody
Please, send my love to everybody
(everybody everybody everybody...)
Send my love to everybody
(everybody everybody everybody...)
Honey, Im writin from D.C., feelin queasy
Stayin healthy on the road isnt easy
The TM recommends an antigen
One of them could resist again
I miss you like a lock in the door
Whats more, I go to sleep with my Walkman
cause half the crew snored
Dont mean to be a bore, everybodys been great,
But theres fifteen of us in a bus state-to-state
So I stay up late with a tape, or meditate
My bed is travellin at fifty-five m.p.h.
When we make it to LA, Ill still be miles away
Its not my best day
Im a get some rest, God bless
My love has gone
(wo wo)
My love has gone
(has has has ...)
(wo wo)
We just stopped a diner so Im takin time to write a few lines
Im fine, sunshine, the bus drivers
reclinin by the grass as the trucks pass
Gleamin with the flash of sunlight from the glass on the windscreen
As for us, theres too much to relate
Weve done five gigs, yet were only in our third state
Americas big, youd love how they pile up your plate
Only place in the world even I can gain weight
Our next date is Wilmington, Delaware
Open air, theres a rumor Melle Melll be there
Anyway, all my love, God bless, Im yawning
I really miss watching you get dressed in the morning
My love has gone
(wo wo)
My love has gone
(wo wo)
My love has gone
No earthly ships will ever
Bring him home
