In Tune
I tripped on the stairway to Heaven
I crashed on the mad road to Hell
I was stuck in a mezzanine lobby
In a hot Californian Hotel
​
I know it is hard to imagine
That I had to carry that weight
But somehow I felt good vibrations
Whenever I went on a date
​
We’d ride in a big yellow taxi
And I would be singing your song
For we were both just born to run love
But the fun really didn’t last long
​
Like a prayer you would come to my rescue
'Don’t speak,' you would softly implore
Like a bridge over troubled waters
You would always be there at my door
​
For yesterday all of the memories
Reminded us of our sweet song
And though I had lost my religion
You'd do magic that went on and on
​
Sometimes the music was toxic
Our romance turned bitter and bad
And neither could get satisfaction
From all of the good times we had
​
But the melodies kept coming to us
They unchained those feelings of doubt
You weren’t vain but I had a strong feeling
That we knew we could both work it out
​
And sometimes we thought we were crazy
And sometimes we started to tire
But when the flames started to dwindle
You’d be there to relight my fire
​
Fame wasn’t what we were after
We wanted to live out our dream
And nothing compares to the feeling
Of islands that meet in the steam
​
‘I will always love you,’ you whispered
Though you left I still felt the love
As I dreamt of sublime California
With crystal blue skies up above
​
Then suddenly you came back to me
When you’d be my baby and then
At the dock of the bay we’d be dancing
How I wish we could do it again
​
God only knows how I love you
Remember when you stood by me
The respect that we had for each other
Every breath that we took we felt free
​
The way you were made me so happy
But you lost that feeling of love
It was in the hotel where my heart broke
I sobbed to the heavens above
​
We’ve come to the end of the story
I really should just let it be
But if you would like me to be there
Know you’ve got a real friend in me
​
