Lyrics
I feel her filth in my bones;
wash off my hands till it’s gone.
The walls, they’re clos ing in
with vel vet cur with tains.
Some love was made for the lights.
Some kiss your cheek, and “good night.”
Lift up a red high heel;
lock up your doors with steel.
They’re mak ing noise in my street;
my blinds are drawn, I can’t see.
Smashed in my car win dow;
did n’t touch the ster e o.
(F)Slow it (Am)down,
An gie; (G)come back to bed.
(F)Rest your (Am)arms,
and (G)rest your legs.
Act like you’ve been here be fore;
smile less and dress up some more.
Tie up your scarf real tight;
these boys are out for blood to night.
(F)Slow it (Am)down,
An gie; (G)come back to bed.
(F)Rest your (Am)arms,
and (G)rest your legs.
And when she stood, she stood tall.
She’ll make a fool of you all.
Don’t ask for cig a rettes;
she ain’t got noth in’ left for you.
I nev er, she nev er, we nev er looked back.
That was n’t what we were good at.
And when it came to love,
we were not good e nough, uh huh.
(F)Don’t you (Am)frown
when you’re (G)feel ing like that;
(F)on ly (Am)love can dig you (G)out of this.
