Thea Gilmore - Contessa lyrics
[Thea Gilmore - Contessa lyrics]
Contessa, Contessa, oh please
Leave your hat by the door
Well, I thought I told you
You couldn't call round anymore
And outside in the street and the
Rains turning tricks on the day
Contessa, I've told you so why
Do you come anyway?
Well, ten years ago by the
Motorway bridge with a smile
And your red lacquer shoes
Oh you lived inside me for a while
I had an old cow bone that I
Used to draw hearts in the dust
Oh, Contessa please
Tell me just what the hell happened to us
'Cause, I've gone gone, run that road
I've gone gone, run that road
Run that road home
I was a scared little kid with a
Head full of hormones and holes
With one eye on atonement and
A body already grown old
There you were with your secrets and
Your notebook of genuine lies
Saying "girl, it's your party but you
Sure as Hell don't wanna cry
Don't wanna cry"
I've gone gone, run that road
I've gone gone, run that road
Run that road home yeah, run that road home
So I was the black sheep, yeah
I was the lone cavalier
But with a face like stone
Oh Connie it's lonely out here
I've taken some pills and I've played
With the hand I was dealt
And you saved me that time but
Now I've learned to save myself
And I've gone gone, run that road
I've gone gone, run that road
Run that road home oh, run that road home
Yeah, run that, run that, run that, run that
Road home yeah, run that road home
Leave your hat by the door
Well, I thought I told you
You couldn't call round anymore
And outside in the street and the
Rains turning tricks on the day
Contessa, I've told you so why
Do you come anyway?
Well, ten years ago by the
Motorway bridge with a smile
And your red lacquer shoes
Oh you lived inside me for a while
I had an old cow bone that I
Used to draw hearts in the dust
Oh, Contessa please
Tell me just what the hell happened to us
'Cause, I've gone gone, run that road
I've gone gone, run that road
Run that road home
I was a scared little kid with a
Head full of hormones and holes
With one eye on atonement and
A body already grown old
There you were with your secrets and
Your notebook of genuine lies
Saying "girl, it's your party but you
Sure as Hell don't wanna cry
Don't wanna cry"
I've gone gone, run that road
I've gone gone, run that road
Run that road home yeah, run that road home
So I was the black sheep, yeah
I was the lone cavalier
But with a face like stone
Oh Connie it's lonely out here
I've taken some pills and I've played
With the hand I was dealt
And you saved me that time but
Now I've learned to save myself
And I've gone gone, run that road
I've gone gone, run that road
Run that road home oh, run that road home
Yeah, run that, run that, run that, run that
Road home yeah, run that road home
