Skittish - Hello Deadly lyrics
[Skittish - Hello Deadly lyrics]
On a cold night in the Springtime
In New Orleans, 1919
It was almost like the cold
Was living in your bones but we opened
All the windows
From the parlor to the bedroom
And danced, and played
And sang until the day was reborn
Cause that can’t happen here
Nothing happens here
Hello Deadly, you look lonely as I
A turn of happenstance
And I could walk a crooked mile
Hello Deadly, you brought a city to life
For desperate vanity
Or just a lonely impulse of delight
So my mind set on a vengeance
And I stocked up for protection
And lost Lenore may fear no
More when floorboards moan
Cause the jazz songs they were lamb’s blood
On the doorway to being someone
But we still want to keep
A weapon in our home
Cause that can’t happen here
Hello Deadly, you look lonely as I
A turn of happenstance
And I could walk a crooked mile
Hello Deadly, you brought a city to life
For desperate vanity
Its just a lonely impulse when I say
Hello Deadly I’m hoping for a sign
An answer on marquees, sparkling in light
But all that we get is a
Lightning Bug’s flicker to light up the cure
Hello Deadly tell me where it hurts
In New Orleans, 1919
It was almost like the cold
Was living in your bones but we opened
All the windows
From the parlor to the bedroom
And danced, and played
And sang until the day was reborn
Cause that can’t happen here
Nothing happens here
Hello Deadly, you look lonely as I
A turn of happenstance
And I could walk a crooked mile
Hello Deadly, you brought a city to life
For desperate vanity
Or just a lonely impulse of delight
So my mind set on a vengeance
And I stocked up for protection
And lost Lenore may fear no
More when floorboards moan
Cause the jazz songs they were lamb’s blood
On the doorway to being someone
But we still want to keep
A weapon in our home
Cause that can’t happen here
Hello Deadly, you look lonely as I
A turn of happenstance
And I could walk a crooked mile
Hello Deadly, you brought a city to life
For desperate vanity
Its just a lonely impulse when I say
Hello Deadly I’m hoping for a sign
An answer on marquees, sparkling in light
But all that we get is a
Lightning Bug’s flicker to light up the cure
Hello Deadly tell me where it hurts
