Threw my bad fortune
Off the top of
A tall building
But I'd rather have done it with you.
Your boy's smile
Five in the morning
Looked into your eyes
And I was really in love.
In chinatown
Hungover
You showed me
Just what I could do.
Talking about
Time travel
And the meaning
And just what it was worth.
And I feel like some bird of paradise
My bad fortune slipping away
And I feel the innocence of a child
Everybody's got something good to say.
Things I once thought
Unbelievable
In my life
Have all taken place.
When we walked through
Little italy
I saw my reflection
Come right off your face.
I paint pictures
To remember
You're too beautiful
To put into words.
Like a gypsy
You dance in circles
All around me
And all over the world.
And I feel like...
So I take my
Good fortune
And I fantasize
Of our leaving
Like some modern-day
Gypsy landslide.
Like some modern-day
Bonnie and clyde
On the run again.
