All the cities in the world
And so very little time and
So many different girls...
All you have to do is find them
ThereŽs a wealth of opportunity you plan your trips accordingly
A pity but the pretty ones are usually more touristy
Say howŽd you like to run away from these machines?
Everywhere the spies are printing out our dreams
Seven stops in seven different countries
Seven page itineraries memories thick as bloody marys jesus jospeh bloody hell
Right now were here in boston
In love with downtown crossing
New york will still be there in the morning
Come back to bed my darling
I had julian and steve
You had julia and jeanette
You wear your terror on your sleeve for all the men i havenŽt met (yet)
I had oliver in potsdam you had elanor in amsterdam
WeŽre keeping track so carefully weŽve missed the state weŽre in completely
Honestly your foot is out the door and iŽve got scores of offers elsewhere and keep both feet planted firmly in the air
And tomorrow you can totally erase me from your mind but trust me everything is fine
Because
Right now weŽre her in boston
In my apartment in the south end
Forget your friends in london
Come back to bed my darling
You can put the details in a letter
The more embarrassing the better
Right now i can be happy if i choose to
I know that in the morning i will lose you....
And maybe youŽll be mad
And maybe iŽll be gray
Before we really understand or maybe it wont matter anyway
WeŽll find out that your mom was right and youŽll admit youŽre really gay
And maybe weŽll wake up
In a city far away
Or maybe weŽll make up
And buy a house and have a dozen kids whoŽll move away it doesnŽt matter anyway
Right now weŽre here in boston
N I M B F R T O Feeling
DonŽt worry who these jokes will all be lost on
Come back to bed my darling
There is nothing in the world that we can count on
Even that we will wake up is an assumption
But i know for a fact that i loved someone
And for about a year he lived in boston...
