lyrics

There’s something strange about the way
You say my name when I’m not listening
And I dare to say it’s stranger
When I am.
And I’ve never been the jealous type,
And I don’t think I am now,
It’s just a feeling, but I wouldn’t call it doubt.

So please try to keep the sounds out of your mouth.

Call me Jackson,
Call me Florida,
Call me New York City in the rain.
Call me a suburban home
On the Better Coast,
Call me downtown San Francisco and take the blame.

Because you get lucky
When you’re alone at the casino.
Think It’s funny,
When you fall asleep at the machine.
You’ve got a problem,
You want everyone to know it,
That you blew a loaded bet
Against the home team.

Call me blackjack,
Call me baccarat,
Call me the Four horse in the sixth race.
Call me your royal flush,
I’ll be the eye you rub,
When they hand you that wild one-eye jack.

I don’t think I’ll ever write a song about you,
So you’ll just have to try and make due.

Call me Wonderwall,
Call me Basket Case,
Call me Holland, 1945.
Be my No Seatbelt Song,
I’ll be your Mr. Jones,
Because we all know exactly what that means.
