20 Minute Loop - Miriam Hopkins lyrics

rate me

Tell me a story that ends with a gunshot

A smack to the side of the head

Please don't divulge all the details that bore us

Just skip to the end

Whittle him down to a splinter of dignity

Eyes with a shade of mascara she smeared on him

I wanna walk back home holding the hand of a-

I wanna walk back with her

Oh, what did I say, you cannot survive my curse

Once you lay down here

Why don't you take me away

Oh, with a twist on his sore little headstand

He fell for the pleasure of children who baited him

They didn't smile at his skill as an acrobat

Only to laugh as he slipped and upset

All the flowers arranged in a dirty milk bottle

He kept by the portrait of Miriam Hopkins

The smiling lieutenant's adorable suitor

He heard her sing Clair De La Lune
