| Lyrics |
I'd start with the boys that hangat the pierlike bats in the night, get tangledin your hair
I'd take away the weekendshoreleave loversthat flood the ports with drunkentales of far away
I'd take away the Eiffel tower
I'd take away the port of Spain
I take your yellow coatno more romantic walks in thepouring rainthen I'd make washboard, wind-blown, sea-side, serenading, prepschool boys disappearthat flock in the summer like gulls tothe beachand pick at your heart like thegarbage on the street
I'll take away all the things that makeyou look away from me
I'd take away everythingthen I'd have you all to myself
I'd take away the guy with themonkey wrench smilehe'll steal your heart away and makea Minnesota milelike a corner store crook on a prisonbreak or a porno queen in aparty cake
I'd take away the Spanish steps
I'd take away the Golden Gate
I take away everythingjust to have you all to myself
I never thought it'd get this badinside of me
I never thought that I'd be soconsumed with jealousy
I need you every night and everyday in bedthese thoughts keep spinning inmy headthen I'd make the big screen, battle-scarred, bold-faced, leading man,lone star heroes disappearthat fill your heart with thoughts ofbeing swept awaybut that's a part a man like me couldnever play
I'll take away all the things that makeyou look away from me
I'd take away everythingjust to have you all to myself
