Terminal Strawberry lip gloss hair tangled in knots like a cork upon the sea she's tumbled and tossed always she's reaching out for me always I'm retreating into the night black and silver in the moon's light white planes gliding through the clouds what a beautiful sight Elizabeth in blue airport angel, you know it's true she walks the terminal like rain dog where the scents of familiar love fade away after the rain leaving you only lonely and a little bit insane Newark to Miami she feeds the payphone all day just to get in touch with me Seattle to London she pouts when all her dreams have come undone these days an ice cream headeache would feel better than a quiet heartbreak I don't know how much more she can take Elizabeth in red airport angel hovering over my bed she walks the terminal in my mind to remind me of familiar love's sweet taste leaving my only lonely blues erased St. Elizabeth, don't cry see the glow of the world as it rushes by so come on, curious kitten come out of your shell no one ever said it was forever written your slow decent into hell Take this love, it's duty-free on a midnight flight via Calexico open your arms for me open up for me Elizabeth in love airport angel gliding down from above I'll make a place for you to land we'll walk the terminal hand in hand we'll walk the terminal till you understand I'm only wanting to be here with you, now no matter what you say... So Elizabeth, don't cry see the glow of the world as it rushes by come on, out of your shell and into the night, tracing down where the moon fell to be cleansed in that white light Strawberry lip gloss heart tangled in knots on a flight from midnight to Miami the turbulance has got us tossed on the wind, tasting of frost but the palms may welcome us in the glittering sand we'll put our trust white plane gliding through the world a halo for this beautiful girl Elizabeth in a rainbow of colors airport angel, you're a wonder she walks the terminal and like the scent of love rediscovered after the rain she leaves me full tonight, watching the planes as they glide... and they glide with me "The moon ain't romantic, it's intimidating as hell". -- Tom Waits, 'Bad Live and a Broken Heart' |
