How Long, Diana? - Ezra Furman, The Harpoons

Run aground in a sea with no water

Fallin' in love with the president’s daughter

Stranded alone on a leather recliner

Waiting for my heart to run out of time and detonate

How long, tell me how long

Tell me how long, tell me how long

How long, tell me how long

Tell me how long, tell me how long

I look at your eyes and their like flooded basesments

But you look my heart splattered all over the pavement

Things were not meant to happen in this order

Love’s not supposed to run out of time and detonate

How long, tell me how long

Tell me how long, tell me how long

How long, tell me how long

Tell me how long, tell me how long

Listen, I forgot everything but your name

You took it all away, everything but your name

Everything but your name, Diana

Diana, tell me how long

Tell me how long, tell me how long

Diana, tell me how long

Tell me how long, tell me how long

Way in the back of the room I am crying

Talking to walls and they are not replying

Seeing your face on the head of the mannequin

Knowing my mind will soon run out of time and detonate

Diana, tell me how long

Tell me how long, tell me how long

Diana, tell me how long

Tell me how long, tell me how long

Walking on broken legs without any crutches

Pulling away from every girl that touches

Telling my friends that I’m feeling much better

Trebling hands making their way through your letters

How long, tell me how long

Tell me how long, tell me how long

How long, tell me how long

Tell me how long, tell me how long

Pretty soon there was nothing left of me but a ghost

Watching my wristwatch and burning my toast

There’s nothing left of me but a ghost

Diana

Diana, tell me how long

Tell me how long, tell me how long

Diana, tell me how long

Tell me how long, tell me how long

Diana, tell me how long

Tell me how long, tell me how long

Diana, tell me how long

Tell me how long, tell me how long
