Lyrics

0:12It's my father's voice dreaming of
0:15Sailors sailing off in the morning
0:23For the air conditioned rooms
0:25At the top of the stairs
0:33His jaw's been broken
0:36His bandage is wrapped too tight
0:44His fangs have been pulled
0:47And I really want to see you tonight
1:05There's bourbon on the breath
1:07Of the singer you love so much
1:16He takes all his words from the books
1:19That you don't read anyway
1:26His jaw's been broken
1:29His bandage is wrapped too tight
1:37My fangs have been pulled
1:40And I really want to see you tonight
1:48Someone ties a bow
1:50In my backyard to show me love
1:58My voice is climbing walls
2:01Smoking and I want love
2:09My jaw's been broken
2:11My heart is wrapped in ice
2:19My fangs have been pulled
2:22And I really want to see you tonight
2:30And it makes no difference to me
2:35How they cried all over overseas
2:41It's hot in the poor places tonight
2:46I'm not going outside
3:33They cried all over overseas
3:39It makes no difference to me
3:44It's hot in the poor places tonight
3:49I'm not going outside
4:00It's hot in the poor places tonight
4:05I'm not going outside
4:11I'm not going outside
4:16I'm not going outside
It's my father's voice dreaming of
Sailors sailing off in the morning
For the air conditioned rooms
At the top of the stairs
His jaw's been broken
His bandage is wrapped too tight
His fangs have been pulled
And I really want to see you tonight
There's bourbon on the breath
Of the singer you love so much
He takes all his words from the books
That you don't read anyway
His jaw's been broken
His bandage is wrapped too tight
My fangs have been pulled
And I really want to see you tonight
Someone ties a bow
In my backyard to show me love
My voice is climbing walls
Smoking and I want love
My jaw's been broken
My heart is wrapped in ice
My fangs have been pulled
And I really want to see you tonight
And it makes no difference to me
How they cried all over overseas
It's hot in the poor places tonight
I'm not going outside
They cried all over overseas
It makes no difference to me
It's hot in the poor places tonight
I'm not going outside
It's hot in the poor places tonight
I'm not going outside
I'm not going outside
I'm not going outside
