lyrics

Everything she wants from you can be had at the duty-free.
Perfume, cigarettes and booze is all she really needs.
And you see her in the airport bar and she says she’s lost her bags.
She says she won’t date movie stars, and London? Well, London was a drag.

chorus:
And she said, “Nowhere. I know where this is going.
But I don’t care. I don’t care much for knowing.”

She likes to watch the passengers as they’re getting off the plane.
She likes to think they’re just like her, and she tries. She tries to guess their names.
She’s got a locker full of souvenirs. Her eyes are wider than the sky.
But her savior faire’s a thin veneer, and her laugh’s a little dry.

chorus

She loves to hear your stories, boy, she loves to hear you speak.
Your skirmishes and glories are the only gifts she’ll keep.
