I thought I saw you in the Battleship but it was only a look-a-like
She was nothing but a vision trick Under the warning light
She was close, close enough to be your ghost
But my chances turned to toast When I asked her if I could call her your name
I thought I saw you in the Rusty Hook Huddled up in a wicker chair
I wandered over for a closer look And kissed whoever was sitting there
She was close, and she held me very tightly
'Til I asked awfully politely, please Can I call you her name
* And I elongated my lift home, Yeah, I let him go the long way 'round
I smelt your scent on the seatbelt And kept my shortcuts to myself
I thought I saw you in the Parrot's Beak, Messing with the smoke alarm,
It was too loud for me to hear her speak, And she had a broken arm,
It was close, so close that the walls were wet
And she wrote it out in letra-set No, you can't call me her name
Tell me where's your hiding place I'm worried I'll forget your face
And I've asked everyone I'm beginning to think I imagined you all along
I saw your sister in the Cornerstone On the phone to the middle man
When I saw that she was on her own I thought she might understand
She was close, well you couldn't get much closer
She said I'm really not supposed to but yes, You can call me anything you want
