Thomas Dolby - Simone lyrics

A dustbowl spread across the prairies The runway shimmered in the haze A toothbrush, paperback, and bug spray The sunrise flickered on her face The seatbelt sign Simone, he knows you're gone And all that's left is heartache And all his cool is blown Simone You're like a time bomb in his blood tonight The Airbus touches down in Cuba Her iPod is looping Gipsy Kings The tradewinds lash the Caribbean Umbrella twizzles in her drink September skies of Havana rum God, what have I done? Simone, he knows you're gone And all that's left is heartache And all his cool is blown Simone, move on, let go Hey all you took's the car keys Not half of what he owns Simone God tried to fax you but there was no dial tone Then a flare went off inside her head Like an inch of pure magnesium With a heat to thaw his frozen heart And a spark to light his beacon And she could feel this time he'd make her whole She believed she'd soon be swooning again Ballooning again But autumn smeared Ohio crimson The freeway shivered like a veil And winter blew in from Lake Erie She glimpsed him as the vial fell Remembering Ah, we tamed the winds You were Simon then Simone, he knows you're gone And all that's left is heartache And all your cool is blown Simone You're like a time bomb in his blood tonight Ooh, Simone
