Lyrics

NO?FLY?ZONE

Don't bother
waiting up for me
my dear
he said
so coldly
knowing
any given day
year after year
she could never
ask where he was going

or when he might be home
with some femme fatale
or all alone
in a corner café
London or Rome
she's living in
a no-fly zone

A list of medications
to be filled
and maybe there's
a movie on TV
every day is time
that must be killed
she pours a glass of red
he speaks Chinese

Sipping martinis at midday
He got to be careful what
he say
Minus the thrill
It's just like home
Where she's living in
a no-fly zone

You don't what it's like to be
the only leaf left on the tree
with just the breeze for company
and a storm
looming on the horizon

Doesn't understand
what's in her head
so she keep a diary
of his life
Hidden in a box
under the bed
he's her fantasy
she's just his wife

a shelter from the storm
a beat up old blanket
keeps her warm
while he's just a message
on the phone
she's living in the
no-fly zone
