Boomerang

Up in New York City, 'neath the bamboo trees

She was eating sushi, he was on his knees

He tried to say he loved her but he could not win

She just fixed her lipstick and kept ignoring him

She was headed for a crash and it even hurt to laugh

'Cause it ended with a bang

When it all came back like a boomerang

When it all came back like a boomerang

She went to a party, where thieves and debutants

All talked in italics with so much nonchalance

He was on the outside, standing in the rain

He saw her through the window, he could not stand the pain

She was headed for a crash and it even hurt to laugh

'Cause it ended with a bang

When it all came back like a boomerang

When it all came back like a boomerang

She went up the staircase with a sleazy Mideast guest

Who could not help staring through her flimsy cocktail dress

He broke into the bedroom, they put him on the spot

He pulled off his pistol, they never heard the shots

They were headed for a crash and it even hurt to laugh

'Cause it ended with a bang

When it all came back like a boomerang

When it all came back like a boomerang

When it all came back like a boomerang
