Black hole hips she looks like some sort of insect buzzing across the floor toward me I can't think. she's looking at me With those green eyes, shining on me like floodlights way in the back of New York city She said she'd take me down to Cocomo We went to Cocomo, indiana Where she told me her real name was Diana, at the gas station. Something about her reminds me of the united states Sprawling across the west and all the glory And imagination Highway 25 divides the great plains from the rocky mountains And colorado springs, coal-mining town Some lady wrote america the beautiful, Sitting on top of pike's peak up there Looking way, way down. way, way down And I don't know how it happened but here we are on the dance floor together, After all these years and I know her real name now I know who wrote america the beautiful And I hear a voice singing in my ear saying Don't turn your back on love No, don't turn your back on love, You idiot You fool Don't you do it And I mean i want to go over your house whenever you want me to come over to your house. But that's no reason To turn your back on love Heartbreak is my roommate now We live together,and we share the rent We have long conversations before we go to sleep in bed at night Ooh, long conversations And I can't lie, I'm on the street inside the street in new york city, Or in boston, or chicago. whatever city i happen to be in at the time. I'm on the same street. Mhm And heartbreak is my roommate Yes it's hard, of course it's hard. It's supposed to be hard. but i can still hear her voice it's calling, It's calling, calling, but it's whispering, Whispering in my ear saying Don't turn your back on love No, don't turn your back on love, My love. what am i supposed to do? say no? Something about her reminds me of the united states Sprawling across the west in all the glory. And imagination She spans the seas and the deserts and the forests and the mountains, She brings it all back together in one big lovely package Oh, baby, oh never turn my back on love Not while you're around to whisper in my ear After all these years, Diana Is that what is was? Don't forget me No, don't forget me. I can't forget you How could I ever forget you? Oh, don't forget me. Don't turn your back on love I won't turn my back on love. Can't forget you How could I forget you?

Boy, you're killing me With your funny smile My heart is beating loud as hell I'm diving in your eyes My whole life is upside and down When you're chasing down my skin The more I run away from you The closer you draw near Take me to the edge of feeling Heart against my skin Show me places I have longed for In sanctity and sin Locked intense inside my head Your touch will set me free I hold on 'til the sun comes up If you'll be there for me I wonder if you let me I wonder if you let me I wonder if you let me I wonder if you let me Don't you turn your back on me Take a look at where you wanna be Don't be scared of what you see Oh, the only thing that's killing you is me Now you're leaving me With your angry eyes My love gets lost with you I was saving you last night Locked intense inside my head Your trust will set us free The more you run away from me The closer I draw near I wonder if you let me I wonder if you let me I wonder if you let me I wonder if you let me Don't you turn your back on me Take a look at where you wanna be Don't be scared of what you see Oh, the only thing that's killing you is me Don't you turn your back on me Take a look at where you wanna be Don't be scared of what you see Oh, the only thing that's killing you is me

If you slow dance You can really take time to get to know the rhythm If you slow dance I could really take time to get to know you better If we slow dance We could really take time to get to know each other If we slow dance We could really get down and bust the right moves We can dance slow, oh-whoa We should slow dance Always speedin' through time, we lose sense of the hours All this romance Is as delicate as the pot that holds the flowers Love is a seed Planted in the ground that keeps on growin' And the time we spend Sets the fire in our hearts for light to keep on glowin'
