Momus - Farther lyrics

Farther away
Can't understand a thing you're saying
Hallo Planet Earth I'm far away farther away
And I don't like the games you're playing
Hallo Planet Earth I'm far away

Somehow you're in the bedroom and
She's in a neglige
Putting on a record by Valerie Dore
Then she lies back on the mattress
And she lights a cigarette
And she asks you quite politely
If you'd rather be inbed
And you wonder what she's taken
And you wonder if she's straight
And the other men she's brought here
Did she treat them all the same?
And listening to the record by Valerie Dore
You drift away

Farther away
Can't understand a thing you're saying
Hallo Planet Earth I'm far away farther away
And I don't like the games you're playing
Hallo Planet Earth I'm far away

She still seems strangely distant though
You're lying there so close
Tangled in the satin sheets
Taking off her clothes
There's a disco in the distance
And the drugs are kicking in
And you feel a bit self-conscious cos
Your body looks so thin
And you notice then quite
Suddenly through unexpected tears
That her eyes are metropolitan
Like Amanda Lear's
And listening to the record by Valerie Dore
You drift away
