Low Rent Melodrama

Here's a little Bossa Nova to set the mood
No more black box secrets left at altitude
Did you have a safe flight?
Have a drink and stay the night?
No reservation needed for the afterlife

And after dinner baby I can take you to a bar
We'll take the ocean drive following Cinega Boulevard
There's a table at the back
Draw the curtains... relax!
Where were you last night?
When did you get back?

I heard the car in the drive and the keys in the door
And your moccasins dance across the chequerboard floor

It's pistols at dawn
Leave the body on the lawn
Ask a stupid question
And keep getting it wrong
In this high stakes, low rent melodrama
You got me on the run
Huh uh uh

Yeah you're driving me crazy
With the matchbox smile
And that hair that you wear in that out of town style
You're the coffee and the cream
You're my little sunbeam
I've been ringing you all night
So tell me where you've been

Cos when I woke up with the dawn
I could hear the birds sing
There must be a wedding in town today
I hear the chapel bell ring
Fix me up a drink and feel my head start to think
All my hopes and fears
Yeah they're on the blink
On the blink

I heard the car in the drive and the keys in the door
And your moccasins dance across the chequerboard floor

It's pistols at dawn
Leave the body on the lawn
Ask a stupid question
And keep getting it wrong
In this high stakes, low rent melodrama
You got me on the run
Huh uh uh

I heard the car in the drive and the keys in the door
And your moccasins dance across the chequerboard floor

It's pistols at dawn
Leave the body on the lawn
Ask a stupid question
And keep getting it wrong
In this high stakes, low rent melodrama
You got me on the run
Huh uh uh
You got me on the run
Huh uh uh
You got me on the run
Huh uh uh
You got me on the run
