Simone

A dustbowl spread across the prairies
 The runway shimmered in the haze
 A toothbrush, paperback, and bug spray
 The seatbelt sign...
 Simone, he knows you're gone
 And all that's left is heartache
 And all his cool is blown
 Simone
 You're like a time bomb in his blood tonight
 The Airbus touches down in Cuba
 Her iPod is looping
 The tradewinds lash the Caribbean
 Umbrella twizzles in her drink
 September skies of Havana rum
 God, what have I done?
 Simone, he knows you're gone
 And all that's left is heartache
 And all his cool is blown
 Simone, move on, let go
 Hey all you took's the car keys
 Not half of what he owns
 Simone
 God tried to fax you but there was no dial tone
 Then a flare went off inside her head
 Like an inch of pure magnesium
 With a heat to thaw his frozen heart
 And a spark to light his beacon
 And she could feel this time he'd make her whole
 She believed she'd soon be swooning again,
 Ballooning again
 But autumn smeared Ohio crimson
 The freeway shivered like a veil
 And winter blew in from Lake Erie
 She glimpsed him as the vial fell
 Remembering
 Ah, we tamed the winds
 You were Simon then...
 Simone, he knows you're gone
 And all that's left is heartache
 And all your cool is blown
 Simone
 You're like a time bomb in his blood tonight
 Ooh, Simone...
