Diplomat's son

It´s not right but it´s now or never
And if I wait could I ever forgive myself
On a night when the moon glows yellow in the riptide
With the light from the TV´s buzzing in the house
Cuz I´m gonna cut where I can
And then I´m gonna duck out behind them
If I ever had a chance it´s now then
But I never had the feeling I could offer that to you
To offer it to you would be cruel
When all I want to do is use, use you
He was the dimplomat´s son
it was ´81 x2
Dressed in white with my cars key hidden in the kitchen
I could sleep wherever I lay my head
And the sight of your two shoes sitting in the bathtub
Let me know that I shouldn´t give up just yet
Cuz I´m gonna take it from Simon
And then I´m gonna duck out behind them
If I ever had a chance it´s now then
But I never had the feeling I could offer that to you
To offer it to you would be cruel
When all I want to do is use, use you
He was the dimplomat´s son
it was ´81 x2
I know, you´ll say
I´m not doing it right
But this is how I want it
I can´t go back
To how I felt before
There´s-
That night I smoked a joitnt
With my best friend
We foud ourselves in bed
When I woke up he was gone
He was the dimplomat´s son
it was ´81 x2
Looking out at the ice-cold water all around me
I can´t feel any traces of that other place
In the dark when the wind comes racing off the river
There´s is a car all black with diplomatic plates
And if I wait could I ever forgive myself
On a night when the moon glows yellow in the riptide
With the light from the TV´s buzzing in the house
Cuz I´m gonna cut where I can
And then I´m gonna duck out behind them
If I ever had a chance it´s now then
But I never had the feeling I could offer that to you
To offer it to you would be cruel
When all I want to do is use, use you
He was the dimplomat´s son
it was ´81 x2
Dressed in white with my cars key hidden in the kitchen
I could sleep wherever I lay my head
And the sight of your two shoes sitting in the bathtub
Let me know that I shouldn´t give up just yet
Cuz I´m gonna take it from Simon
And then I´m gonna duck out behind them
If I ever had a chance it´s now then
But I never had the feeling I could offer that to you
To offer it to you would be cruel
When all I want to do is use, use you
He was the dimplomat´s son
it was ´81 x2
I know, you´ll say
I´m not doing it right
But this is how I want it
I can´t go back
To how I felt before
There´s-
