I missed you tonight at the party, oh, oh-oh
New York ain't the place to feel lonely, oh, oh-oh
So I left with a stranger who knew me, oh, oh-oh
She's sleeping beside me now, peacefully, oh, oh-oh
But in my head, I'm miles away
Back on the island again, laying with you, Marianne
In my head, rolling 'round our bed
We are an island again, I'm Leonard and you're Marianne
Never take me back again
'Cause you know just what you'll get
You know just what you'll get
You showed me the bird on the wire, oh, oh-oh
You gave me my songs and my future, oh, oh-oh
And I guess you could say that I've taken Manhattan
While you're back on Hydra and dressed in white cotton, oh, oh-oh
But in my head, I'm miles away
Back on the island again, I'm laying with you, Marianne
And in my head, rolling 'round our bed
We are an island again, I'm Leonard and you're Marianne
Never take me back again
'Cause you know just what you'll get
You know just what you'll get
I beg you, never take me back again
'Cause you know just what you'll get
But I go there in my head
At the Chelsea Hotel
Wasted in the arms of a stranger
Every little detail
Written in a song that betrays ya
At the Chelsea Hotel
I'm wasted in the arms of a stranger
Every little detail
Written in a song to betray ya
In my head, I'm miles away
Back on the island again, I'm laying with you, Marianne
In my head, rolling 'round our bed
We are an island again, I'm Leonard and you're Marianne
Never take me back again
'Cause you know just what you'll get
You know just what you'll get
I beg you, never, never take me back again
'Cause you know just what you'll get
But I go there in my head
