Gemma Ray - 1952 lyrics

rate me

Honey, where have you been? You’re two shades short of green

I’ve been drinking Cuba-Libras in the street

Well, we’ve been here before, picking pennies off the floor

I’ve been calling -- you don’t answer the phone anymore

I’ll break every bone in you

Babe I’ve been dying to

Ever since 1952

In a bar by the sea in the middle of a dream

When your drunken treasure eyes sunk into mine

Those omega-3 lips, approaching like enemy ships

The coup de grace, Non! Por favor! Permisson Senoir!

I’m barefoot, broken and bruised

I’m won't be following you

Been waiting for you to

Ever since 1952

I’ve waited a long time for them to let me out of here

And if those bullets come rattling

Out your mouth I’ll grit my teeth and grin and bear it

'Cause I know you’re like me -- sinking desperately

Arms flailing, were they waving back at me?

I’m barefoot, broken and blue

Well I’m through with following you

Been aching for you to

Ever since 1952
