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
