Lyrics[edit | edit source]
(Hey, backin' me up, baby, come on)
Are you back in Greenwich, droppin' acid?
Are you at the arcade watchin' television?
Did you leave for Battery with your weed
And your leather, lookin' like Ray Gillen?
Are you still the king of rock and roll, babe?
Bet you miss hearin' me sing, callin' 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 tiara
Blue hydrangea
Will my forever love never return to me?
