Bastille

I missed you tonight at the party, oh, oh-oh
New York ain t place to feel lonely, oh, oh-oh
So I left for the stranger who knew me, oh, oh-oh
She s sleeping beside me now peacefully, oh, oh-oh

But in my head, I m miles away
Back on the island again
Laying with you, Marianne
In my head, rolling round our bed
We are an island again
I m Leonard and you re Marianne

Never take me back again
Cause you know just what you ll get
You know just what you ll get

You show me the bird on the wire, oh, oh-oh
You gave me my songs and my future, oh, oh-oh
And I guess you could say that I ve taken Manhattan
Well, you re back on Hydra and dressed
in white cotton, oh, oh-oh

But in my head, I m miles away
Back on the island again
I m laying with you, Marianne
In my head, rolling round our bed
We are an island again
I m Leonard and you re Marianne

Never take me back again
Cause you know just what you ll get
You know just what you ll get
I beg you never take me back again
Cause you know just what you ll get
But I go there in my head

At the Chelsea Hotel, wasted in the arms of a stranger
Every little detail written in the song that betrays ya
At the Chelsea Hotel, I m wasted in the arms of a stranger
Every little detail written in the song to betray ya

In my head, I m miles away
Back on the island again
I m laying with you, Marianne
In my head, rolling round our bed
We are an island again
I m Leonard and you re Marianne

Never take me back again
Cause you know just what you ll get
You know just what you ll get
I beg you never, never take me back again
Cause you know just what you ll get
But I go there in my head
