Burn the Luggage
All packed up with no suitcases
Leaving all that cities that left us in decay
Rotting flesh at the Pacific Palisades
I say you’re the countess of Dutch
You say you’re a bit out of touch
With a touch of to much
No mouth and no ties
Just a heart beating beauty and lies
You say I'm the prince of nervous
Shaking and breaking elaborate promises
That sticks like a thorn in the eye
This all boils down to another goodbye
Now it’s metropolis in my head
Spinning like a carousel
Round and round like a top
Turns out we came tumbling down
Out on holiday until September
And we both know we won’t be back again
Here I am sitting all alone
Just leave a message on the telephone
Because I'm not going to answer
The calls from my bed
And I still do everything to get you out of my head
So just carry it, and carry it, and carry it away
I'll just save this bullshit for another day
Leaving all that cities that left us in decay
