Big Thief - Paul lyrics
[Big Thief - Paul lyrics]
Oh, the last time I saw Paul
I was horrible and almost let him in
But I stopped and caught the wall
And my mouth got dry so all I
Did was take him for a spin
Yeah, we hopped inside my car
And I drove in circles 'round
The freight train yard
And he turned the headlights off
Then he pulled the bottle out
And then he showed me what was love
I'll be your morning bright
Goodnight shadow machine
I'll be your record player, baby
If you know what I mean
I'll be your real tough cookie
With the whiskey breath
I'll be a killer and a thriller
And the cause of our death
In the blossom of the months
I was sure that I'd get
Driven off with thought
So I swallowed all of it
As I realized there was no one
Who could kiss away my shit
I'll be your morning bright
Goodnight shadow machine
I'll be your record player baby if
You know what I mean
I'll be your real tough cookie
With the whiskey breath
I'll be a killer and a thriller
And the cause of our death
Paul, I know you said that you'd take
Me any way I came or went
But I'll push you from my brain
See, you're gentle, baby
I couldn't stay, I'd only bring you pain
I was your starry-eyed lover and
The one that you saw
I was your hurricane rider and
The woman you'd call
We were just two moonshiners on
The cusp of a breath
And I've been burning for you baby
Since the minute I left
I was horrible and almost let him in
But I stopped and caught the wall
And my mouth got dry so all I
Did was take him for a spin
Yeah, we hopped inside my car
And I drove in circles 'round
The freight train yard
And he turned the headlights off
Then he pulled the bottle out
And then he showed me what was love
I'll be your morning bright
Goodnight shadow machine
I'll be your record player, baby
If you know what I mean
I'll be your real tough cookie
With the whiskey breath
I'll be a killer and a thriller
And the cause of our death
In the blossom of the months
I was sure that I'd get
Driven off with thought
So I swallowed all of it
As I realized there was no one
Who could kiss away my shit
I'll be your morning bright
Goodnight shadow machine
I'll be your record player baby if
You know what I mean
I'll be your real tough cookie
With the whiskey breath
I'll be a killer and a thriller
And the cause of our death
Paul, I know you said that you'd take
Me any way I came or went
But I'll push you from my brain
See, you're gentle, baby
I couldn't stay, I'd only bring you pain
I was your starry-eyed lover and
The one that you saw
I was your hurricane rider and
The woman you'd call
We were just two moonshiners on
The cusp of a breath
And I've been burning for you baby
Since the minute I left
