Grand Prix Songtext

von Penelope Houston

This room is brown and ugly
Wouldn't be so bad if you were here with me
We could slip on something naked
Kissing by the light of race cars crashing on TV
I've been tossing, turning lately
Twisting sheets and reading Nuyorican Poetry
And all my dreams are full of lovers
That I've never met before down by the Bodensee
Where were you when I called?
You were right there by the phone
But you never say the words
That I stayed up all night long
Just to hear from you

I need you more now that I'm gone
And not your 7000 mile long distance diamond ring
I need you more now that I'm here
And my blackest bad-brain fears are all unravelling

Where were you when I called?
You were right there by the phone
But you never say the words
That I stayed up all night long
Just to hear from you

Could you please meet my plane
Or at least try to be home I didn't bring my key
Would you answer my prayers
And fly halfway round the world just to comfort me.
I want you now.

Where were you when I called?
You were right there by the phone
But you never say the words
That I stayed up all night long
Just to hear from you

It's OK I'm OK
I'll make it through another day
I know you love me even though that's what you never say
But I don't think that I'll call you for a while, wait and see
Until then I'll lie down
Probably turn off the sound
Satisfy myself in the light of the French Grand Prix
