Neko Case - Star Witness lyrics
[Neko Case - Star Witness lyrics]
My true love drowned in a
Dirty old pan of oil
That did run from the block
Of a Falcon sedan 1969 the paper said '75
There were no survivors none found alive
Trees break the sidewalk
And the sidewalk skins my knees
There's glass in my thermos
And blood on my jeans
Nickels and dimes of the Fourth of July
Roll off in a crooked line
To the chain-link lots where
The red tails dive
Oh, how I forgot what it's like
Hey when she sings, when she sings
When she sings like she runs
Moves like she runs
Hey when she moves, when she moves
When she moves like she runs
Moves like she runs
Hey there, there's such tender wolves
'round town tonight 'Round the town tonight
Hey there, there's such tender wolves
'round town tonight 'Round the town tonight
"Hey pretty baby, get high with me
We can go to my sister's if
We say we'll watch the baby"
The look on your face yanks
My neck on the chain
And I would do anything (I would do anything)
To see you again so I've fallen behind
Hey when she sings, when she sings
When she sings like she runs
Moves like she runs
Hey when she moves, when she moves
When she moves like she runs
Moves like she runs hey there
There's such tender wolves
'round town tonight 'Round the town tonight
Hey there, there's such tender wolves
'round town tonight 'Round the town tonight
Go on, go on and scream and cry
You're miles from where anyone will find you
This is nothing new, no television crew
They don't even put on the sirens
My nightgown sweeps the pavement, please
Don't let him die
Oh, how I forgot
Dirty old pan of oil
That did run from the block
Of a Falcon sedan 1969 the paper said '75
There were no survivors none found alive
Trees break the sidewalk
And the sidewalk skins my knees
There's glass in my thermos
And blood on my jeans
Nickels and dimes of the Fourth of July
Roll off in a crooked line
To the chain-link lots where
The red tails dive
Oh, how I forgot what it's like
Hey when she sings, when she sings
When she sings like she runs
Moves like she runs
Hey when she moves, when she moves
When she moves like she runs
Moves like she runs
Hey there, there's such tender wolves
'round town tonight 'Round the town tonight
Hey there, there's such tender wolves
'round town tonight 'Round the town tonight
"Hey pretty baby, get high with me
We can go to my sister's if
We say we'll watch the baby"
The look on your face yanks
My neck on the chain
And I would do anything (I would do anything)
To see you again so I've fallen behind
Hey when she sings, when she sings
When she sings like she runs
Moves like she runs
Hey when she moves, when she moves
When she moves like she runs
Moves like she runs hey there
There's such tender wolves
'round town tonight 'Round the town tonight
Hey there, there's such tender wolves
'round town tonight 'Round the town tonight
Go on, go on and scream and cry
You're miles from where anyone will find you
This is nothing new, no television crew
They don't even put on the sirens
My nightgown sweeps the pavement, please
Don't let him die
Oh, how I forgot
