It was six in the morning, though
Drunk with eyes full of sleep
We smoked day after day
But the more I look at you, the less I remember
Lying in the hotel, I turn on the TV
It's three o'clock, I wonder if you're okay
If you want, come to my room for a drink
I may be insensitive, but I won't change for you

Today my mouth tastes of what I don't drink
Like the Coke I left there
In that bar in Naples

I go slow slow but
I would like to run like a jaguar
I had a hundred dreams ago
You sitting at the kebab shop
You ask me what I'm doing
I write home, I don't steal, I don't deal
The more I think of you here
The more I sink into quicksand

It was maybe morning, I don't know
Maybe deep night or dawn was breaking
I thought of you losing my calm
Being without you is like being on the field without a ball
If you come here, I'll have a round of Tanqueray
In your future remember how it was
Sitting in the car, happy, motionless

Today my mouth tastes of what I don't drink
Like the Coke I left there
In that bar in Naples

I go slow slow, but
I would like to run like a jaguar
I had a hundred dreams ago
You sitting at the kebab shop
You ask me what I'm doing
I write home, I don't steal, I don't deal
The more I think of you here
The more I sink into quicksand

I go slow slow, but
I would like to run like a jaguar
I had a hundred dreams ago
Here sitting at the kebab shop
You ask me what I'm doing
I write home, I don't steal, I don't deal
The more I think of you here
The more I sink into quicksand
