Leonard & Marianne
[Verse 1]
I missed you tonight at the party, oh, oh-oh
New York ain't place to feel lonely, oh, oh-oh
So I left for the stranger who knew me, oh, oh-oh
She's sleeping beside me now peacefully, oh, oh-oh
[Chorus]
But in my head, I'm miles away
Back on the island again
Laying with you, Marianne
In my head, rolling 'round our bed
We are an island again
I'm Leonard and you're Marianne
[Post-Chorus]
Never take me back again
'Cause you know just what you'll get
You know just what you'll get
[Verse 2]
You show me the bird on the wire, oh, oh-oh
You gave me my songs and my future, oh, oh-oh
And I guess you could say that I've taken Manhattan
Well, you're back on Hydra and dressed in white cotton, oh, oh-oh
[Chorus]
But in my head, I'm miles away
Back on the island again
I'm laying with you, Marianne
In my head, rolling 'round our bed
We are an island again
I'm Leonard and you're Marianne
[Post-Chorus]
Never take me back again
'Cause you know just what you'll get
You know just what you'll get
I beg you never take me back again
'Cause you know just what you'll get
But I go there in my head
[Bridge]
At the Chelsea Hotel, wasted in the arms of a stranger
Every little detail written in the song that betrays ya
At the Chelsea Hotel, I'm wasted in the arms of a stranger
Every little detail written in the song to betray ya
[Chorus]
In my head, I'm miles away
Back on the island again
I'm laying with you, Marianne
In my head, rolling 'round our bed
We are an island again
I'm Leonard and you're Marianne
[Post-Chorus]
Never take me back again
'Cause you know just what you'll get
You know just what you'll get
I beg you never, never take me back again
'Cause you know just what you'll get
But I go there in my head
