Here’s to Adhering

I went to a party out in Hollywood, The atmosphere was shoddy but the drinks were good, and that's where I heard you laugh. I then went cruising on an old Greek ship, The crew was amusing but the guests weren't hip, that's where I found your hands. On to the Sahara in a caravan, The sun struck like an arrow but the nights were grand, and that's how I found your chest. An evening in the Congo where the Congo ends, I found myself alone, oh but I made some friends, that's where I saw your face. I have been devoting all my time to get Parts of you out floating still unglued as yet. Won't you pull yourself together For Me O N C E I went for a walk in the Samburu, the ground was hard like rock but the people were true, and that's where I heard you laugh. I then went hiking in the Bridger Range The view was striking but the wind blew strange, that's where I found your hands. On to the Mediterranean in a worn yacht, The waves roared like lions but the sun shone hot, and that's how I found your chest. A party in Milan near the Piazza de Duomo I stayed until dawn but the sun was still low, that's where I saw your face. I have been seeking the whole world to find Pieces of you leaking lost parts still to bind. Won't you pull yourself together For Me ONCE
