Thomas Dolby - Simone Lyrics
The runway shimmered in the hazeA toothbrush, paperback, and bug sprayThe seatbelt sign...Simone, he knows you're goneAnd all that's left is heartacheAnd all his cool is blownSimoneYou're like a time bomb in his blood tonightThe Airbus touches down in CubaHer iPod is looping Gipsy KingsThe tradewinds lash the CaribbeanUmbrella twizzles in her drinkSeptember skies of Havana rumGod, what have I done?Simone, he knows you're goneAnd all that's left is heartacheAnd all his cool is blownSimone, move on, let goHey all you took's the car keysNot half of what he ownsSimoneGod tried to fax you but there was no dial toneThen a flare went off inside her headLike an inch of pure magnesiumWith a heat to thaw his frozen heartAnd a spark to light his beaconAnd she could feel this time he'd make her wholeShe believed she'd soon be swooning again,Ballooning againBut autumn smeared Ohio crimsonThe freeway shivered like a veilAnd winter blew in from Lake ErieShe glimpsed him as the vial fellRememberingAh, we tamed the windsYou were Simon then...Simone, he knows you're goneAnd all that's left is heartacheAnd all your cool is blownSimoneYou're like a time bomb in his blood tonightOoh, Simone...
