How Long, Diana? Songtext
von Ezra Furman & The Harpoons

Mmm, mmm, mmm
Alright

Run aground in a sea with no water
Falling in love with the president′s daughter
Stranded alone on a leather recliner
Waiting for my heart to run out of time and detonate

How long, tell me, how long?
Tell me, how long and tell me, how long?
How long, tell me, how long?
Tell me, how long, tell me, how long?

I look at your eyes and they're like flooded basements
But you look at my heart splattered all over the pavement
Things were not meant to happen in this order
Love′s not supposed to run out of time and detonate

How long, tell me, how long? (How long, tell me, how long?)
Tell me, how long and tell me, how long? (Tell me, how long, tell me, how long?)
How long, tell me, how long? (How long, tell me, how long?)
And tell me, how long, tell me, how long? (Tell me, how long, tell me, how long?)


Pretty soon, I forgot everything but your name
You took it all away, everything but your name
Everything but your name, Diana

Diana (Tell me, how long?)
(Tell me, how long, tell me, how long?)
Oh, Diana (Tell me, how long?)
(Tell me, how long, tell me, how long?)

Way in the back of the room, I am crying
Talking to walls and they are not replying
Seeing your face on the head of the mannequin
Knowing my mind will soon run out of time and detonate

How long, tell me, how long? (How long, tell me, how long?)
Tell me, how long and tell me, how long? (Tell me, how long, tell me, how long?)
How long, tell me, how long? (How long, tell me, how long?)
Tell me, how long, tell me, how long? (Tell me, how long, tell me, how long?)

Walking on broken legs without any crutches
Pulling away from every girl that touches
Telling my friends that I'm feeling much better
Trembling hands making their way through your letters


How long, tell me, how long? (How long, tell me, how long?)
Tell me, how long and tell me, how long? (Tell me, how long, tell me, how long?)
How long, tell me, how long? (How long, tell me, how long?)
Tell me, how long and tell me, how long? (Tell me, how long, tell me, how long?)

Pretty soon, there was nothing left of me but a ghost
Watching my wristwatch and burning my toast
There's nothing left of me but a ghost, Diana

Diana (How long, tell me, how long?)
Tell me, how long and tell me, how long? (Tell me, how long, tell me, how long?)
Diana, tell me, how long? (How long, tell me, how long?)
And tell me, how long, tell me, how long? (Tell me, how long, tell me, how long?)

Diana (How long, tell me, how long?)
(Tell me, how long, tell me, how long?)
Oh (How long, tell me, how long?)
(Tell me, how long?)
