(robert palmer)
I was waiting for you
i was sat in the sun
i could picture your face on the tip of my tongue
i woke up laughing
i broke into a sweat
i broke into a run
you were hot in my heels so i hired a gun
i woke up laughing
i was flat on my back
i was taking a plunge
it was making a stand but my plan was undone
i woke up laughing
well i planned an escape for the middle of june
but i drug too fast and i fire too soon
i woke up laughing
woke up laughing
You make yourself a fortune, out in hong kong
you sit at home and wonder whether you were wrong
you take a small vacation just to keep sane
you find on your return your home has blown away
you meditate, you make haste
you run a risk, you come late,
you pay a bill, you lose face
you're not fully unaware
your star or your fate
if you fall do you break
you go to war, you make love
you sign out in a box
Repeat whole song
