Lyrics
It's not right but its now or never And if I wait could I ever forgive myself? On a night when the moon glows yellow in the riptide With the light from the TVs buzzing in the house 'Cause I'm gonna cut it where I can And then I'm gonna duck out behind them If I ever had a chance its now then But I never had the feeling I could offer that to you To offer it to you would be cruel When all I want to do is use, use you He was a diplomats son It was 81 Dressed in white with my car keys hidden in the kitchen I could sleep wherever I lay my head And the sight of your two shoes sitting in the bathtub Let me know that I shouldn't give up just yet 'Cause I'm gonna take it from Simon And then I'm gonna duck out behind them If I ever had a chance its now then But I never had the feeling I could offer that to you To offer it to you would be cruel When all I want to do is use, use you He was a diplomat's son It was 81 I know, you'll say I'm not doing it right But this is how I want it I can't go back To how I felt before That night I smoked a joint With my best friend We found ourselves in bed When I woke up he was gone He was the diplomats son It was 81 Looking out at the ice-cold water all around me I can't feel any traces of that other place In the dark when the wind comes racing off the river There's a car all black with diplomatic plates
