A dust bowl spread across the prairies

The runway shimmered in the haze

A toothbrush, paperback and bug spray

The sunrise flickered on her face

The seatbelt sign

Simone, he knows

You're gone and all that's left is heartache

And all his cool is blown

Simone, you're like a time bomb in his blood tonight

The airbus touches down in Cuba

Her iPod is looping Gipsy Kings

The trade winds lash the Caribbean

Umbrella twizzles in her drink

September skies of Havana rum

God, what have I done?

Simone, he knows

You're gone and all that's left is heartache

And all his cool is blown

Simone, move on

Let go, all you took's the car keys

Not half of what he owns

Simone, God tried to fax you

But there was no dial tone

Then a fire went off inside her head

Like an inch of pure magnesium

With the heat to thaw his frozen heart

And the spark to light his beacon

She can feel this time he'll make a hole

She believes she'll soon be swooning again

Ballooning again

But autumn smeared Ohio crimson

The freeway shivered like a veil

And winter blew in from Lake Erie

She glimpsed him as the veil fell

Remembering, ah, we tamed the wind

You were Simon then

Simone, he knows

You're gone and all that's left is heartache

And all your cool is blown

Simone, you're like a time bomb in his blood tonight

Ooh, Simone

Ah, Simone

Ooh, Simone
