But where do you want where do you want the girl?
I pulled up at your door and turned the key once more
Took a calculator from my pocket
Checked a picture of us in a locket
I knew you were not in an alarm began to ring
Punched a number on a cordless phone
Made an offer on a dockland's condominium home
Somewhere with no soul that won't remind me

And drive drive drive down that empty highway again
Surrounded by food you don't worry about starvation
Only temptation and keeping sane
Maybe you live in one world or another baby one world or another
And maybe that's right i found myself somewhere under the cover of a
