go home

Colin Vearncombe (black)

Fake diamond rings on every finger
Purple shadows around my eyes
I show Americans del norte
The best of Paris' underside

I worked the dirt in Oklahoma and ate my crow and humble pie
Though I walk through the Latin quarter
It's still a dust bowl in my mind

You can't make me go home
When I don't wanno go!

I've lived on peanuts for the season
Bathtub martinis extra dry
Down in the thirteenth arrondissement
I waste my money on good times

You can't make me go home
Don't make me go home, I don't wanna go
You can't make me go home, la la la
When I don't wanna go

Fake diamond rings on every finger
Purple shadows around my eyes
Down in the thirteenth, the fourteenth, the fifteenth arrondissement I waste my money line by line

You can't make me go home
Don't make me go home, I don't wanna go
You can't make me go home
When I don't wanna go
