Lyrics[]
Hey Becky, how long, baby?
Come on
Are you back in Greenwich, droppin' acid?
Are you at the Archive watchin' television?
Did you leave for Battery with your weed
And your leather, lookin' like Ray Gillen?
Are you still the king of rock 'n' roll, babe?
Bet you miss hearin' me sing, calling me Lana
And did you take your run today along that West Side highway?
Do you miss your baby mama?
Blue hydrangea
Will my forever love never come back to me?
Does it feel like yesterday to you, yet?
How quickly you forget how I made you smile
I remember everything
The diamond horseshoe, wedding ring and the tile aisle
Aisle, aisle
Blue hydrangea
Will my forever love never return to me?
