Fishnets And Cigarettes

(альбом: One Day It Will Please Us To Remember Even This - 2006)

I was sitting there all alone
I was praying you would come home
I was listening to an old blues song
You see, I'm wounded, wounded and bleeding
Won't you ease my pain?

You're getting a little impatient
Smoking like a mental patient

Happiness, fishnets and cigarettes
A pagan monkey in a dress
Tell me who can arrest
A mind ensnared by love?

A rogue elephant for a mind
And it's treating me so unkind
But in my heart it's an old blues song
Playful and bitching, mischievous and earthy

Happiness, fishnets and cigarettes
A pagan monkey in a dress
Tell me who can arrest
A mind ensnared by love?

Talk about slaying a snake
You got my heart bound up in shame
But in my soul it's an old blues song

This life can be so tragic
Until you see the magic

Happiness, fishnets and cigarettes
A pagan monkey in a dress

I'm talking 'bout
Happiness, fishnets and cigarettes
A pagan monkey in a dress
Tell me who can arrest
A mind ensnared by love?

Howdy baby, hey baby
Please stay with me, I pray
Hey baby, hey baby
Don't let me cry in vain
