TIME FLIES

Saw you in an empty beach
Summer, summer '96
Dark glasses, Armani Jeans
You had on

Sitting in a bar alone
Sniffing coca and drinking Gin
When you paid
I just got in

We had some crazy nights
Dancing in the bay, alive
Swimming our heads away,
Feeling astray

The next day when I woke up
I found and empty, empty bed
No sign or no note
Of where you set

I saw you at the border line
Of Spain heading to Africa
In an old blue car

I tried to cross the road twice
Slipped in a banana skin
Covered in mud I ran
But you disappeared

*Time flies
We come and go
When you arrive somewhere
*I mean to go

Tried to find you in Senegal
Heading to South Africa
I knew you were there with some strange friend

I almost fell upside down
I nearly threw my sandwich out
When I saw you in other people's arms

*Time flies
We come and go
When you arrive somewhere
*I mean to go
Saw you getting on a bus
So, I climbed up with you at last
We were together again, I thought
What a fool, what a fool I was
The bus drove to a border line
So far, so far away from town
My passport got stolen
So I had to stay

*Time flies
We come and go
When you arrive somewhere
*I mean to go
