Diplomat's Son

[00:24.38] It’s not right but it’s now or never

[00:33.63] And if I wait could I ever forgive myself?

[00:43.63] On a night when the moon glows yellow in the riptide

[00:53.64] With the light from the TVs buzzing in the house

[01:04.89] Cuz I’m gonna cut it where I can

[01:06.37] And then I’m gonna duck out behind them

[01:08.88] If I ever had a chance it’s now then

[01:11.62] But I never had the feeling I could offer that to you

[01:19.37] To offer it to you would be cruel

[01:22.38] When all I want to do is use, use you

[01:27.63] He was a diplomat’s son

[01:30.38] It was ‘81

[01:32.63] He was a diplomat’s son

[01:35.12] It was ‘81

[01:58.37] Dressed in white with my car keys hidden in the kitchen

[02:07.88] I could sleep wherever I lay my head

[02:17.87] And the sight of your two shoes sitting in the bathtub

[02:27.63] Let me know that I shouldn’t give up just yet

[02:37.87] Cuz I’m gonna take it from Simon

[02:40.37] And then I’m gonna duck out behind them

[02:42.62] If I ever had a chance it’s now then

[02:45.13] But I never had the feeling I could offer that to you

[02:52.87] To offer it to you would be cruel

[02:56.38] When all I want to do is use, use you

[03:01.88] He was a diplomat’s son

[03:04.38] It was ‘81

[03:06.88] He was a diplomat’s son

[03:09.13] It was ‘81

[03:26.12] I know, you’ll say

[03:28.37] I’m not doing it right

[03:31.37] But this is how I want it

[03:38.62] I can’t go back

[03:40.87] To how I felt before—

[03:44.12] That night I smoked a joint

[03:46.37] With my best friend

[03:47.62] We found ourselves in bed

[03:49.37] When I woke up he was gone

[03:54.37] He was a diplomat’s son

[03:56.37] It was ‘81

[03:58.88] He was a diplomat’s son

[04:01.37] It was ‘81

[05:16.87] Looking out at the ice-cold water all around me

[05:26.62] I can’t feel any traces of that other place

[05:36.12] In the dark when the wind comes racing off the river

[05:46.02] There’s a car all black with diplomatic plates
