Neko Case - Prison Girls lyrics

rate me

<BR>

Where am I tonight? La, da, da <br>

My hotel room won't remember me <br>

And this dream will die, die by morning <br>

And this dream won't remember me <br>

<br>

Awakened by a droning voice <br>

I love your long shadows and your gunpowder eyes <br>

Is it a lady or is it a man <br>

Humming helicopters through the blades of a fan <br>

<br>

I love your long shadows and your gunpowder eyes <br>

I love your long shadows and your gunpowder eyes <br>

<br>

On my feet to chase it down <br>

The lights were spokes and rungs away <br>

I stumbled back and hit the floor <br>

Long shadows crawl beneath the door <br>

To a passage so poorly lit <br>

There's moths flying away from it <br>

<br>

Who am I tonight? La, da, da <br>

My hotel room won't remember me <br>

Darkness enter prison girls <br>

Pushing mops and kicking pails <br>

Now's my chance <br>

I clasp my chest <br>

And declare unto my audience <br>

I love your long shadows and your gunpowder eyes <br>

I love your long shadows and your gunpowder eyes <br>

<br>

Prison girls are not impressed <br>

They're the ones that have to clean this mess <br>

They've traded more for cigarettes <br>

Than I've managed to express <br>

<br>

Filing past miles long <br>

The cheek is frozen to the floor <br>

The prison girls have filled their beds <br>

Their thoughts too dry above their heads <br>

<br>

I love your long shadows and your gunpowder eyes<br>

<BR><BR>

<BR>
