| I took the pill and slipped it underneath my tongue
|
| You took yours and passed me the bottle
|
| The hotel bedspread was a mess of colours, Looked like somebody had thrown-up
|
| Outside, day was coming in
|
| Betty had long hair on her forearms
|
| And a tattoo of the Neubauten logo on the back of her right shoulder
|
| My jaw ached from grinding my teeth
|
| You and betty just laughed and laughed
|
| I looked at you and you looked at her
|
| I felt sick to my stomach
|
| You nudged me in the ribs, caught me eye and gave me a wink
|
| The colours on the bed spread began to move
|
| Together we begin to swim inside out
|
| How I wish that I could feel that sound always
|
| You know, around all time baby, so lonely, ah
|
| That we’d get so far out, far away, always, always
|
| There was a knock at the door
|
| I was so messed up
|
| It was so late
|
| I was convinced that we shouldn’t move
|
| But the music was so loud
|
| How I wish that I could feel that sound always
|
| You know, around all time baby, so lonely, yeah
|
| Oh my, got to get so far out, far away, always, always, always
|
| It was then I realised that I couldn’t go back
|
| The telephone rang, it was the front desk
|
| You’ve just got to tap your heels together and say that
|
| «There's no place like home, There’s no place like home»
|
| I don’t have that kind of power
|
| Never did see Betty again
|
| There’s no place like home
|
| And the years went by |
