Contessa

Contessa, Contessa, oh, please leave your hat by the door
Well, I thought I told you, you couldn't call 'round anymore
Outside in the street and the rain's turning tricks on the day
Contessa, I've told you, so why do you call anyway?

Well, ten years ago by the motorway bridge with a smile
And you're red like her shoes, oh, you lived inside me for a while
I had an old cow bone that I used to draw hearts in the dust
Oh, Contessa, please tell me just what the hell happened to us?

'Cause I've gone, gone, run that road
I've gone, gone, run that road
Oh, run that road home

I was a scared little kid with a head full of hormones and holes
With one eye on atonement and a body already grown old
There you were with your secrets and your notebook of genuine lies
Sayin' "Girl, it's your party, but you sure as hell don't wanna cry
Don't wanna cry"

And I've gone, gone, run that road
I've gone, gone, run that road
Oh, run that road home
Yeah, run that road home

So I was a black sheep, yeah, I was a lone cavalier
With a face like stone, oh, Connie, it's lonely out here
I have taken some pills and I've played with the hand I was dealt
And you saved me that time, but now I have learned to save myself

And I've gone, gone, run that road
Said I've gone, gone, run that road
Oh, run that road home
Yeah, run that road home
Yeah, run that, run that, run that, run that road home
