The Gaslight Anthem - Mae lyrics

rate me

Stay the same, don't ever change

Cause I'd miss your ways

With your Bette Davis eyes

And your mama's party dress

While this city pumps it's aching heart

For one more drop of blood,

We work our fingers down to dust

And we wait for kingdom come

With the radio on

I wanna see you tonight

Would you come for a drive?

You can lean into me

If you ain't been in love for a while

I was born beside a river

That flows to a raging sea

That will one day serve to quell

Or one day be the death of me

In my faded jeans and far away eyes

And salty carnival kiss

That all my former lovers say

Was once magnificent

I wanna see you tonight

Would you come for a drive?

You can lean into me

And if you ain't oh if you ain't...

I wanna see you tonight

Would you come for a drive?

You can lean into me

If you ain't been in love for a while

And still this city pumps it's aching heart

For one more drop of blood

We work our fingers down to dust

While we wait for kingdom come

With the radio on

It's been so long Mae, so long

It's been so long Mae, so long

But since the radio's on...
