Description
This song came pretty much out of nowhere earlier this fall. I actually know very little about Alma Mahler--other than she was a composer like her husband but didn't produce much other than a whole lot of love affairs. After I wrote it, I found on the Internet that Tom Lehrer had written a song about her too, called "Alma." His song, however, is funny: this one (other than the title) really isn't.

Lyrics
I gave up so much for love
I had a career, you know
They called me the Angel Sent from Above
They raved at my debut show
I gave up so much for him
I had other men before
I remember the aftershave still on my skin
When I'd stumble back home and unlock my door
Take me away, Diddy, take me away
We don't need armies of basses or contrabassoons
We could stay up all night
While the turntables play
And sleep in our furs until noon
Take me away
You are a businessman
Although you dabbled in song
And now that you're verging on becoming an also-ran
I sense that we'd get along fine
Cause we both know enough about pain
The way that obscurity feels
Like morphine dripped straight into your vein
Like yesterday's bread served up as a meal
Take me away, Diddy, take me away
We don't need armies of basses or contrabassoons
We could stay up all night
While the turntables play
And sleep in our furs until noon
Take me away
