Album: Revolution Avenue

Florence

My lucky star must have been working hard
Time for my tables to turn
Here comes nurse-face Mrs. Hoffmann,
She really looks a tough one
Told me go get a life,
Cut that fantasy jive

She got me dying with laughter
Spilled the wine right into my lap
Higher and higher
I could have stayed up there
For the rest of my life with you

I got lost in a wild romance
Ten -thousand feet off the ground
I took my chance
Tempted by a face and a little-girl-smile
And her name rang Florence
I was lost in a cosmic trance
Way up in the clouds even I could dance
The plane was shaking while pictures were taken
And her lips kissed her into my life
Florence - ma chèr Florence

The pilot decided to end this scam
Incredulous looks in their seats
When the plane touched down
There was a general frown
Are we all insane
Or would you do the same?

I got lost in a wild romance
Ten -thousand feet off the ground
I took my chance
Tempted by a face and a little-girl-smile
And her name rang Florence
I was lost in a cosmic trance
Way up in the clouds even I could dance
The plane was shaking while pictures were taken
And her lips kissed her into my life
Florence - ma chèr Florence

In surely desperate times,
You've got me flying
And you sure as hell
got me laughing
at the ongoing joke of the world

Some times it´s short
And sometimes it grows long
It´s a natural fact either right or wrong
Extremely situated, somehow blood-related
Just a beautiful day with you

I was lost in a wild romance...
Florence, ma chère Florence
Florence...
