It was an eight minute ceremony.
Everyone was there.
The groom wore a black cape.
The bride with diamonds in her hair.

They've disappeared like the troubadours.
They're not coming back.
We really knew how to have some fun.
They're not alive, not one of 'em.
Yeah.

I sit alone in my room
I'm so damn depressed.
I reenact plays on the polo field.
I've never riden a horse.
That's just the problem with magazines,
I get so involved.
Recalling my days in North Africa;
I've never crossed the Atlantic.
Yeah.

My parents lived a life less glamorous,
working away in Las Vegas.
'72 Vista Cruiser, they even lived in it.
And I'll gladly tell you all about it.
I can't remember it.
I'll say "Those were the days of the troubadours, they're not coming back."

We really knew how to have some fun,
before my parents got divorced.
Yeah.
