Don't Turn Your Back on Love - Ezra Furman/The Harpoons
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 coco-mo
We went to coco-mo 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
Ooh 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
