[St. Vincent - Bang, Bang lyrics]
The night was blacker than most and the air
It hung like the ghost
And my baby, my baby had to go
My baby, was sweeter than most
But my baby, he had quite a nose
For the women my baby had to go
The butcher was hacking up meat
While the baker was too warm from the heat
Of his oven no one heard me coming
The writer was lost to his lead
While the lovers were too busy in bed
To discover my baby had to go
Bang bang! Baby heard my footsteps at the
Bang bang! Baby heard my fist upon the
Bang bang! Bang bang!
My baby was no more
The children were tucked safe and sound
While the mothers were up fretting around
None the wiser my baby had to go
The women were sucking their teeth
Chide the menfolk into buying them drinks
Sound familiar? My baby had to go
Bang bang! Baby heard my footsteps at the
Bang bang! Baby heard my fist upon the
Bang bang! Bang bang!
My baby was no more
Bye bye, bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye
Bye bye bye bye bye bye bye
Bye bye, bye bye bye bye bye bye bye
Bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye
Who me? I heard not one sound
I'm just passing through this ghost town
If you asked me i'm sure he had it coming
Bang bang! Baby heard my footsteps at the
Bang bang! Baby heard my fist upon the
Bang bang! Bang bang!
Bang bang! Bang!
My baby was no more
It hung like the ghost
And my baby, my baby had to go
My baby, was sweeter than most
But my baby, he had quite a nose
For the women my baby had to go
The butcher was hacking up meat
While the baker was too warm from the heat
Of his oven no one heard me coming
The writer was lost to his lead
While the lovers were too busy in bed
To discover my baby had to go
Bang bang! Baby heard my footsteps at the
Bang bang! Baby heard my fist upon the
Bang bang! Bang bang!
My baby was no more
The children were tucked safe and sound
While the mothers were up fretting around
None the wiser my baby had to go
The women were sucking their teeth
Chide the menfolk into buying them drinks
Sound familiar? My baby had to go
Bang bang! Baby heard my footsteps at the
Bang bang! Baby heard my fist upon the
Bang bang! Bang bang!
My baby was no more
Bye bye, bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye
Bye bye bye bye bye bye bye
Bye bye, bye bye bye bye bye bye bye
Bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye
Who me? I heard not one sound
I'm just passing through this ghost town
If you asked me i'm sure he had it coming
Bang bang! Baby heard my footsteps at the
Bang bang! Baby heard my fist upon the
Bang bang! Bang bang!
Bang bang! Bang!
My baby was no more
