lyrics

BLACKOUT BABY

I could have gone to Santa Fe but for you, you kept me here anyway doing the dishes, doing the laundry. Love, I could have gone to town and had another life living with a country star, someone big in the country music scene but instead, here I am watching DVDs with you on a Friday night and my head is full of flights I could have taken. I could have taken my music elsewhere and changed my life for the better. But who knows whether it’d have been for the better? Who knows whether the weather would have been better? Who knows whether it’d have been for the better? Or whether I’d be back with my tail between my legs. How are you doing while you’re sat there thinking about your day? Getting your boss right out of your hair, watching some space launch, something Elon Musk did that didn’t quite work out right. In fact, the rocket blew up and oh it gave them a helluva fright and I guess they lost a lot of money in the procedure but what about me? I’ve also lost a lot of money in these procedures, our daily evenings.  Love, I wanna tell you that I really do care but, you know, I’ve a parallel life going on somewhere and I would really like to know a bit more about it and maybe you’d like to come along too, or perhaps not. Maybe that is not a really good idea because, you know, I could be hanging out with Tom Cruise or someone like that. Maybe not someone quite as mad into Scientology but hey, you know what I mean. Who would do? Let me think. Um, well, Javier Bardem. Hmm, a bit of a pot belly. You know I like my men Latino with a bit of passion running through their blood and that’s kind of a question when I look at you sat on the sofa eating barbecued wings. I hope they taste good. I turned vegetarian many, many years and I never had a taste for that. I know you like them dipped in curried sauce. I could be in Mexico with or without you. I could be there, walking around eating corn on the cob, eating prickly pear. Eating prickly pear into the sunlight. My eyes under shades like a blackout baby. Blackout baby. Looking for you. Looking for you…
