Cuban Crisis (2000 Digital Remaster) - Phil Manzanera
She said I've got to get away
Be smart stay cool hey
Don't be that way
You know I love you
But I really cannot stay
I've booked a ticket on a plane
And when she said it
She was on the phone
Call long distance
Then she smiled and said
I'm coming home
She packed her bag
And blew a kiss it missed
And gave the dog a pat
And then she said
She had to run
Run run run run run run
Run run run run run run
Run run run run run run
If you knew where look
She could bear contemplation
Her assets ain't suffered
Because of inflation
Sure sex meant a lot
I gave her my best shot
But if I wasn't so hot
Well there must have been
Some books that I could read
How could I hope to have kept her
Just a cheap lousy dime a day tune smith
Now my words don't impress her
I keep on ending lines like this with spend thrift
Disposable tunes
That's when 'moon' rhymes with 'June'
Seems to ruffle her conscience
And give her the bee
How else could I pay
For those long months away
With those so special people
Who live in
She said will you promise to be strong
I grabbed her hand and asked her
Honey there must be something wrong
And she replied well how can I live
In such a light weight song
And then she said she had to run
Run run run run run run
Run run run run run run
Run run run run run run
Now I think she's in cuba
With a house on a bay
With a great view
But they'll have to remove her
'Cuz she keeps on telling fidel what to do
I can just hear him say
As she gets her own way
And the tourists flock in
And the mob cashes in
I've tried not to be
So petit bourgeoisie
But I can't help but feel
That the revolution's
Gone right round the bend
I promise to be strong
There must be something wrong
Booked a ticket on a plane
I'll be on my way
Run run run run run run
Run run run run run run
Run run run run run run
Run run run run run run
Run run run run run run
Run run run run run run
Run run run run run run
Run run run run run run
Run run run run run run
Run run run run run run
Run run run run run run
Run run run run run run
Run run run run run run
Run run run run run run
Run run run run run run
Run run run run run run
Run run run run run run
Run run run run run run
Run run run run run run
Run run run run run run
Run run run run run run
