Almeria was the girl next door
or anyone you might have wanted more.
In a supermarket checkout by the door,
stands in front of everyone,
doesn't look at anyone at all.
Almeria had an attitude.
a less forgiving soul might call her rude.
she said "I could be nice
but I'm not in the mood.
I don't give in to anyone.
I don't give up for anything
at all."
(Chorus)
"'What's your name
and are you to blame
for putting me through so much pain?
if it's all the same,
I think I will remain
to catch the last departing plane."
Almeria was a place in Spain
where her mother met a guy named Wayne
and they ate Italian candies in the rain.
Underneath a Dali sky,
nineteen sixty-seven rolled on by.
(chorus)
"if I never said why, if I never said why, boy
figure it out anyway.
If I never said how, if I never said how, boy
you still got to find you a way."
Almeria got a conference call.
seems her father wasn't lost at all
and he'll be flying her to Vegas in the fall.
underneath a plastic sun,
have a scene for everyone to see.
"What's your name
and are you to blame
for putting me through so much pain?
if it's all the same,
I think I will remain
to catch the last departing plane."
