just about a hundred and ten I
was on my way home from a sophisticated party Where
I got a little drunk on gin And
as the headlights cast a glow on the road I
heard a voice inside of me It
said "You, lost the light And
now you're moving through the night Running
from the grand ennui Running
from the grand ennui" Well
I, reached in my pocket and I pulled out the Omega That
was never one second behind I
knew the horse that I was running at the Southern Talladega Had
won for the twenty-second time And
then the countess I was with bent over with a kiss And
put a jeweled hand on my knee I
knew I'd lost the light And
I was moving through the night Running
from the grand ennui Running
from the grand ennui Well
that night passed in a blaze of glory With
the countess and the car both mine And
each day passes with the same old story But
the countess has a brand new line Yet
still at night I am haunted by the fright And
distant memory Of
the day I lost the light Moving
through the night Running
from the grand ennui Running
from the grand ennui
was overland touring in my new Ferrari At just about a hundred and ten I was on my way home from a sophisticated party Where I got a little drunk on gin And as the headlights cast a glow on the road I heard a voice inside of me It said "You, lost the light And now you're moving through the night Running from the grand ennui Running from the grand ennui" Well I, reached in my pocket and I pulled out the Omega That was never one second behind I knew the horse that I was running at the Southern Talladega Had won for the twenty-second time And then the countess I was with bent over with a kiss And put a jeweled hand on my knee I knew I'd lost the light And I was moving through the night Running from the grand ennui Running from the grand ennui Well that night passed in a blaze of glory With the countess and the car both mine And each day passes with the same old story But the countess has a brand new line Yet still at night I am haunted by the fright And distant memory Of the day I lost the light Moving through the night Running from the grand ennui Running from the grand ennui Explain Request ×
