Boomerang

Up in New York City
'Neath the bamboo trees
She was eating sushi
He was on his knees

He tried to say he loved her
But he could not win
She just fixed her lipstick
And kept ignoring him

She was headed for a crash
And it even hurt to laugh
Cause it ended with a bang
When it all came back like a boomerang
When it all came back like a boomerang

She went to a party
Where thieves and debutants
All talked in italics
With so much nonchalance
He was on the outside
Standing in the rain
He saw her through the window
He couldn't stand the pain

He was headed for a crash
And it even hurt to laugh
Cause it ended with a bang
When it all came back like a boomerang
When it all came back like a boomerang

She went up the staircase
With a sleazy Mideast guest
Who could not help staring
Through her flimsy cocktail dress
He broke into the bedroom
They put him on the spot
He took off his pistol
They never heard the shots

They were headed for a crash
And it even hurt to laugh
Cause it ended with a bang
When it all came back like a boomerang
When it all came back like a boomerang
