On a Cmorning from a HmBogart Emmovie
In a Ccountry where they Hmturn back Emtime
You go Cstrolling through the Hmcrowd like EmPeter Lorre
ContemAmplating a crimeD
She comes Cout of the Dsun in a Emsilk dress running
Like a Hwatercolor in the Crain
Don't bother Hasking for Emexplanations
She'll just Amtell you that she cameD
In the year of the CcatHmEmCHmEmCHmEmAmD
She Cdoesn't give you Hmtime for Emquestions
As she Clocks up your Hmarm in Emhers
And you Cfollow till your Hmsense of Emwhich direction
CompAmletely disappearsD
By the Cblue tiled Dwalls near the Emmarket stalls
There's a Hhidden door she leads you Cto
These days she Hsays I Emfeel my life
Just like a Amriver running throughD
The year of the CcatHmEmCHmEmCHmEmAmD
Well she Hlooks at you so Ccoolly
And her Geyes shine like the Dmoon in the sea
She comes in Hincense and patcChouli
So you Gtake her to Ffind what's Cwaiting Dinside

Well Cmorning comes and Hmyou're still Emwith her
And the Cbus and the Hmtourists are Emgone
And you've Cthrown away your Hmchoice and Emlost your ticket
So you Amhave to stay onD
But the Cdrumbeat Dstrains of the Emnight remain
In the Hrhythm of the new born Cday
You know Hsometime you're Embound to leave her
But for Amnow you're going to stayD
