Diplomat's Son It's not right but it's now or never and if I wait could I ever forgive myself?
Oh night When the moon glows yellow in the rip tide with a laugh and the TV's buzzing in the house
Cause I'm gonna go to where I came in and I'm gonna take it behind them if I ever have the chance its now then but I never had the feeling I could offer that to you to offer it to you would be cruel when all I want to do is use use you
You was the diplomat's son It was '81 You was the diplomat's son It was '81
Dressed in white with my car keys hidden in the kitchen I can sleep wherever I lay my head and the sight of dishes sitting in the bathtub let me know that I shouldn't give up just yet
Cause I'm gonna take it from Simon
and I'm gonna pick up behind them If I ever have the chance it's now then but I never had the feeling I could offer that to you to offer it to you would be cruel when all I want to do is use use you
You was the diplomat's son It was '81 You was the diplomat's son It was '81
I hope you said I'm not doing right I can't go back to how I felt before That night I smoked a joint my best friend we found ourselves in bed when I woke up he was gone
He was the diplomat's son It was '81 He was the diplomat's son It was '81
Looking out at the ice cold water all around me I can't feel any traces of that other place In the dark with the wind comes racing off the river there's a car all black with diplomatic plates
