first the sound of a wailing guitar
a bluesman blowin' outside of a bar
speak easy baby,
bite the words on my tongue
catch the breath on my lungs
feel free to run your mouth right into my arms
i wanna feel you scat about whats on your mind
i wanna see your hands move about with each line
i wanna see you mess about with the feelings in me
and leave me for dead in the big easy
oh lover, it's such a dream come true
to wake up alone with a note left from you
you stepped out for coffee,
said you'll be back soon
but you left at the sunrise and it's half past noon
you know i dig
your voice, you croon so lovely
in the moonlight, every night
i'd spend it with you and end it with you
in my arms in the dark of my room
i see you're creeping
i know that i'm keeping up with you
but you're always just two steps ahead of me
and i would so readily give up new york city
just to lay with you daily
oh what could be better, see it's just a dream come true
to wake up alone with a note left from you
stepped out for coffee
said you'll be back soon
but you left at the sunrise and it's half past noon
i smell your perfume on my bed
and my head's a balloon
aching from taking so many shots of you
i'm hungover, runover, stomach is pumping
and i finally bit off more than I could chew
more than I could lose
i'm wasted without you
and it seems like a sad song
and i'm sure its a bad one
categorical caterwaul of allegorical tragedy
but i'm sad to see you go
i know that you'll show some other bloke
everything that you showed to me
but doll, hangovers fade
and these feelings will dissipate
everything evaporates
even me as you leave me here alone
my tears steam away like the smoke
i'm the punchline to your joke
and i'm choking on your note
but when the pain passes
after a few white wine glasses
i'll be sitting here just laughing
'cause the jokes on you
this blokes the best thing that you ever left
i'm your best bet but you just threw the dice away
you rolled snake eyes today, this is the play you chose to play
and i didn't get a say, so i'll see you later babe
when i catch you crawling, i'll be balled up with laughter
happily ever after, a face from my past
on a photograph that i never threw away
i wanna hear you scat about whats on your mind
i wanna see your hands move about with each line
i wanna see you mess about with the feelings in me
and leave me for dead in the big easy
leave me for dead in the big easy
no you can't kill me
no you won't kill me, no
oh baby, it's just a dream come true
i have to figure out how to post an mp3 without signing up fro a new purevolume or something tomorrow...any suggestions?
