Lovers Are Waterproof - Herman Düne

There was blood on my hands and hair on my cheeks

I hadn’t got a shave in 25 weeks

I cracked the window open, i had a handgun in the backseat

You were going 65 on a waterfront street

And i knew that i could trust you to give me a ride

Like the ocean trusts the moon to give it a tide

And you said «i saw someone being killed once when i was 14»

And i said «you don’t know where i been.»

You were staying up heading south, we were looking for food

There was a song stuck in your head and it wasn’t very good

The chorus was lame it went like «lovers are waterproof.»

I was tearing at the palm trees through sunroof

And though the gas was expensive here in california

You had been driving me on in to the morning on yuh

And you said «leave your past behind you and it will all 'come clean»

And i said «you don’t know where i’ve been.»

Then you remembered your trunk it was loaded with beer

You parked the car and said «david let’s have one one the pier.»

You stepped onto the sand with no shoes on your feet

I was hungry as hell and said that i needed to eat something more

Than peanut butter on toast

And that the sunrise looked better on the east coast

And you said «well david my friend you’re being grumpy and mean,»

And i said «you don’t know where i’ve been.»

There was a plane taking off and another plane landing

There was a sign that read breakfast by the side of a building

You said «a plane is nothing if you compare it to a pelican»

And i was hoping that the diner sort of place could be mexican

Then i would get a breakfast burrito and speak a little spanish

You said «a bird is silent and it sure can fish»

And inside they were showing my face up on a tv screen

And i said «you don’t know where i’ve been.»

Then you said «get rid of your beard and no one will notice»

And i said «baby, no one here is going to call the police

You see the owner looks nice and the waitress she’s pretty

To take any of them down would be a freaking pity.»

And you said «you scared the shit out of me, you’re going too far

You didn’t want me before hopping into my car»

And then i said «well baby you might be

The most beautiful woman i’ve seen

But you don’t know where i’ve been

Well you might be the most beautiful woman i’ve seen

But you don’t know where i’ve been.»
