I was missin' in action on the side of a carton

I was taken in a Datsun from a street in Acton

I was sippin' on a Rubicon, thinkin' 'bout where I come

It's all this for revolution

Cuttin' up the coupon, savin' for a telephone

Can I call home? Please, can I go home?

Painted nails, sunsets on horizons

Palm trees, silhouette smells amazing

Blindfolds under home-made lanterns

Somewhere in the Amazon, they're holding me ransom

Smokin' on a Benson, tryin' to get me undone

Let me go, I don't want your attention

Under submission, out of frustration

I'll do it, I'll scream for the nation

Minutes turned to hours and became our dates

When we shared raindrops that turned into lakes

Bodies started merging and the lines got gray

Now, I'm looking at him, thinking maybe he's okay
