PETE YORN - Georgie Boy lyrics

rate me

Eighteen men went into the house

And burned it to the ground

Two men came out from the house

Never went to town

Everyone knew who the carpenter was

Breaking everything

Nathaniel was a lucky one

He had to get his things

Georgie Boy, oh, Georgie Boy

Sister Anne-Marie and a 12-year-old

They left the burning town

Rode for miles on a subway train

That's how the legend went down

And, yeah, now you've been fooled

And now you can see that

Nothing's gonna change

It's the witches who know

They only do what they want

And then like to have someone explain

Georgie Boy, oh, Georgie Boy

Now you can move and now you can sing

Georgie Boy

Now it's over when you can't ascribe

You say now's the time for a different try

But you have to tell

Does running make that sound?

Twenty years on

It's a mission accomplished

And everyone's feeling great

He says, "No one's ever gonna trap me down

Or make me make mistakes."

So now what you do

And now what you say

Means nothing to the rest

And you make a rich bitch

And you know what you are

Yeah, you find yourself in a purple dress

Georgie Boy, oh, Georgie Boy

And now you can move

And now you can sing

Georgie Boy, oh, Georgie Boy
