about
A paranoid fellow's girlfriend goes to Europe.
lyrics
I’ve been having dreams lit up by lightning
They came to me the same night that you left
Call when you finally get to Warsaw and tell me not to worry
‘Cause I’ve been having dreams cloaked by Enigma
I pack my things up and start driving west
Call me when you finally get to Paris and tell me not to worry
Tell me one day you’ll be back
‘Til I hear from you I’ll drive across the country planning for the next attack
You’re visiting the sites of Barbarossa
On restless maps that stole you from my arms
The Wehrmacht’s in the Badlands, South Dakota
And I drive on
I’ve been having dreams of half-heard broadcasts
And fragments of your voice come to my ears
Call me when you finally get to Dunkirk and tell me not to worry
Tell me one day this will break
‘Til I hear from you I’ll study every signal looking for the small mistakes
And I could drive ‘til all hope is abandoned
But I’d still get your postcards from Berlin
The Luftwaffe lands inside of the Grand Canyon
So it’s 70 east towards Omaha
The Utah night is bright
And I drive on
I’ve been having dreams ‘bout Winston Churchill
He’s telling me I have no time to rest
I’ll call you when I hit the beach at Normandy and tell you not to worry
Don’t worry
They came to me the same night that you left
Call when you finally get to Warsaw and tell me not to worry
‘Cause I’ve been having dreams cloaked by Enigma
I pack my things up and start driving west
Call me when you finally get to Paris and tell me not to worry
Tell me one day you’ll be back
‘Til I hear from you I’ll drive across the country planning for the next attack
You’re visiting the sites of Barbarossa
On restless maps that stole you from my arms
The Wehrmacht’s in the Badlands, South Dakota
And I drive on
I’ve been having dreams of half-heard broadcasts
And fragments of your voice come to my ears
Call me when you finally get to Dunkirk and tell me not to worry
Tell me one day this will break
‘Til I hear from you I’ll study every signal looking for the small mistakes
And I could drive ‘til all hope is abandoned
But I’d still get your postcards from Berlin
The Luftwaffe lands inside of the Grand Canyon
So it’s 70 east towards Omaha
The Utah night is bright
And I drive on
I’ve been having dreams ‘bout Winston Churchill
He’s telling me I have no time to rest
I’ll call you when I hit the beach at Normandy and tell you not to worry
Don’t worry
