[00:24.77]It's not right but it's now or never
[00:29.94]
[00:34.25]And if I wait could I ever forgive myself?
[00:40.30]
[00:44.42]On a night when the moon glows yellow in the riptide
[00:50.91]
[00:54.16]With the light from the TV's buzzing in the house
[01:00.64]
[01:04.26]Cause I'm gonna cut it where I can
[01:06.69]And then I'm gonna duck out behind them
[01:08.95]If I ever had a chance it's now then
[01:11.50]But I never had the feeling I could offer that to you
[01:15.18]
[01:19.18]To offer it to you would be cruel
[01:23.17]When all I want to do is use, use you
[01:28.47]He was a diplomat's son
[01:30.28]
[01:30.85]It was '81
[01:31.97]
[01:33.46]He was the diplomat's son
[01:34.96]
[01:35.77]It was '81
[01:36.96]
[01:59.16]Dressed in white with my car keys hidden in the kitchen
[02:05.02]
[02:08.52]I could sleep wherever I lay my head
[02:14.76]
[02:18.50]And the sight of your two shoes sitting in the bathtub
[02:24.06]
[02:28.31]Let me know that I shouldn't give up just yet
[02:34.61]
[02:38.54]Cause I'm gonna take it from Simon
[02:40.72]And then I'm gonna duck out behind them
[02:42.91]If I ever had a chance it's now then
[02:45.53]but I never had the feeling I could offer that to you
[02:49.09]
[02:53.33]To offer it to you would be cruel
[02:56.70]
[02:57.51]When all I want to do is use, use you
[03:01.63]
[03:02.75]He was a diplomat's son
[03:04.50]It was '81
[03:05.87]
[03:07.31]He was the diplomat's son
[03:09.12]
[03:09.80]It was '81
[03:10.51]
[03:27.30]I know, you'll say
[03:28.61]
[03:29.17]I'm not doing it right
[03:31.17]
[03:31.92]but this is how I want it
[03:33.64]
[03:38.88]I can't go back
[03:41.06]
[03:41.69]To how I felt before
[03:44.25]
[03:45.33]That night I smoked a joint
[03:47.08]With my best friend
[03:47.95]We found ourselves in bed
[03:50.01]When I woke up he was gone
[03:52.38]
[03:54.94]He was the diplomat's son
[03:56.69]
[03:57.44]It was '81
[03:58.57]
[03:59.56]He was the diplomat's son
[04:01.93]It was '81
[04:02.58]
[05:21.12]Looking out at the ice cold water all around me
[05:23.80]
[05:27.11]I can't feel any traces of that other place
[05:33.28]
[05:36.78]In the dark when the wind comes racing off the river
[05:43.51]
[05:46.70]There's a car all black with diplomatic plates
