Don’t Turn Your Back On Love Lyrics

Black hole hips, she looks like some sort of insect
Buzzing across the floor toward me
I can't think when she's looking at me with those green eyes
Shining on me like floodlights way at the back of New York City
She said she'd take me down to Kokomo
We went to Kokomo, Indiana
Where she told me her real name was Diana
At the gas station
Something about her reminds me of the United States
Sprawled across the west and all the glories and imagination
Highway 25 divides the Green Plains from the Rocky Mountains
And Colorado Springs is a coal mining town
Some lady wrote America the Beautiful sitting up on top of Pike's Peak up there
Looking way way down, way way down

And I don't know how it happened but here we are on the dance floor together
After all these years
And I know her real name now, I know who wrote America the Beautiful
And I hear a voice whispering in my ear
Saying "Don't turn your back on love
No don't turn your back on love, you idiot
You fool, oh don't you do it
And I may not want to go over to your house whenever you want me to come over to your house
But that's no reason to turn your back on love."

Heartbreak is my room-mate now, we live together
We share the rent, we have long conversations before we go to sleep in bed at night
Long conversations
And I go out I'm on the street, inside the street
In New York City or in Boston or Chicago whatever city I happen to be in at the time
I'm on the same street
Heartbreak is my room-mate
Yes it's hard, of course it's hard, it's supposed to be hard
But I can still hear her voice, it's calling
It's calling, calling words of wisdom and whispering in my ear
Saying "Don't turn your back on love
No, don't turn your back on love, my love"
What am I supposed to do? Say "no"?
Something about her reminds me of the United States
Sprawled across the west and all the glory and imagination
She spans the cities and the deserts and the forests and the mountains
She brings it all together in one big lovely package
Oh baby Oh I'll never turn my back on love
Not while you're around to whisper in my ear
After all these years
Diana, is that what it was?

Don't forget me, no don't forget me
I can't forget you, how could I ever forget you?
Oh don't forget me, don't turn your back on love
I won't turn my back on love
I can't forget you, how could I forget you?
(aside) That's it, that's all
