Winchester Chimes Lyrics

A smile beneath a shadow
she could stand on her head
turning a cross in his hand
instinctively she bled
and i like the smell of smoke
falling out of my hair
at this time of night
only the gaspipe mice
have the energy to swear

Johnny says, you and me girl
we could make a stand
he thinks i'm a bottle
of pretty pills
well i am not impressed
i just like to be undressed
sometimes
and i forget we are what we will

The Brooklyn sky
looked like a blood-shot eye
would you dance to
Your Cheatin' Heart
with me -- ahhhh....

The chinese lantern burns
on the fire escape
the lady hanging out her wash
she stretch her arms
through the iron gates
Aldous Huxley is laughing in his grave
and i am not impressed,
ah don't get so distressed

The Brooklyn sky
looked like a blood-shot eye
would you dance to
Your Cheatin' Heart
with me -- ahhhh....

Save The Robots
was letting out
Winchester Chimes,
I love you more than
all the grout in the
free world, lord

The Brooklyn sky
looked like a blood-shot eye
would you dance to
Your Cheatin' Heart
with me -- ahhhh....
