The Gaslight Anthem - Mae lyrics
[The Gaslight Anthem - Mae lyrics]
Stay the same, don't ever change
'cause I'd miss your ways
With your Bette Davis eyes and
Your mama's party dress
While this city pumps it's aching heart
For one more drop of blood
We work our fingers down to dust
And we wait for kingdom come
With the radio on
I wanna see you tonight
Would you come for a drive?
You can lean into me if you ain't
Oh you ain't been in love for a while
I was born beside a river that
Flows to a raging sea
That will one day serve to quell or
One day be the death of me
In my faded jeans and far away
Eyes and salty carnival kiss
That all my former lovers
Say was once magnificent
I wanna see you tonight
Would you come for a drive?
You can lean into me if you ain't
Oh you ain't been in love for a while
Still the city pumps it's aching heart
For one more drop of blood
We work our fingers down to dust
And we wait for kingdom come
With the radio on, with the radio on
It's been so long Mae, so long
It's been so long Mae, so long
But since the radio's on
'cause I'd miss your ways
With your Bette Davis eyes and
Your mama's party dress
While this city pumps it's aching heart
For one more drop of blood
We work our fingers down to dust
And we wait for kingdom come
With the radio on
I wanna see you tonight
Would you come for a drive?
You can lean into me if you ain't
Oh you ain't been in love for a while
I was born beside a river that
Flows to a raging sea
That will one day serve to quell or
One day be the death of me
In my faded jeans and far away
Eyes and salty carnival kiss
That all my former lovers
Say was once magnificent
I wanna see you tonight
Would you come for a drive?
You can lean into me if you ain't
Oh you ain't been in love for a while
Still the city pumps it's aching heart
For one more drop of blood
We work our fingers down to dust
And we wait for kingdom come
With the radio on, with the radio on
It's been so long Mae, so long
It's been so long Mae, so long
But since the radio's on
