So how's your affair With the millionaire with silver hair? Does he care? Your love affair, I am aware Is void of love, indeed The greatest weight of all Towers over your shoulders, yeah While the longest wait of mine Keeps playing over and over, yeah These are simple times And now I miss your simple pleasures A substance state of mind What I had left to treasure I know it's been a while But I swear you wouldn't be so lonely If only you'd let me in So look at you now The spark in your eyes is gone, somehow I wish you would hang up and turn around And let me see those eyes They'd be the same brown eyes It would make my life to see you turn I'd finally make my case You'd--you'd run away and come with me To destroy the human race The greatest weight of all Towers over your shoulders While the longest wait of mine Keeps playing over and over These are simple times And now I miss your simple pleasures A substance state of mind What I had left to treasure I know it's been a while But I swear you wouldn't be so lonely If only you'd let me in So look at you now The spark in your eyes is gone, somehow I wish you would hang up and turn around And let me see those eyes They'd be the same brown eyes You're not here Every night is a nightmare So look at you now The spark in your eyes is gone, somehow I wish you would hang up and turn around And let me see those eyes They'd be the same brown eyes Just say you're never gonna do it again
