The Decemberists - Philomena lyrics

rate me

(Verse)

Oh, Philomena, are you in a ? gown

Lean to your window, lets slip a ribbon down

If you're do your ? if only you'll let me go

Down, down down

Long sunny days can lead to lazy vices

Boys are behind, will laugh to their own devices

Open up your ? and laugh and let me go

Down, down down

(Chorus)

All I ever wanted in the world was just to live to see a naked girl

But I found I've quickly bored, I wanted more, I wanted more

(Verse 2)

So I'll be your candle and I'll be your statuette

I'll be your lash and loop of leather and dark

Philomena, if only you'll let me go

Down, down down

(Chorus)

All I ever wanted in the world was just to live to see a naked girl

But I found I've quickly bored, I wanted more, oh, so much more

(Verse 2)

So I'll be your candle and I'll be your statuette

I'll be your lash and loop of leather and dark

Philomena, if only you'll let me go

Down, down down
