Lyrics

Lost Girls

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Warming the hearts of tragic hoodlum spirits

Brighten the eyes of petty thieves who crawl at night

Who feign to use a knife

Jingle jangle the cosmo's are on fire

The blazing lines of the criminal choir

Rejoiced to be alive

Broken and depraved

Sullied mop and rusted pail

Centuries of poison to escape this heaven or hell

This earthly cell of dead flowers and so many wounded foes

It's hard to remember fantasy or horror

Unwanted caresses

Little Lolitas who want to be held in large hands

Dear Father, who art in heaven

Hallowed by thine name

Witches confused by their own magic

Witches displeased by their own perfume

Shame-locked women

Shaman women fuming with shame

Love-locked women

Women their own magic women

Shadow body, shadow spirit

White blood, blue night

Angels lyrics

Female creature wilted high in the raftors

Orgies of dust and butterfly laughter

Shadows spilling into the babe's milk

Sorry eyes of ghost's memoir

Four blue plus two, that makes six

That's twelve times two

Two brown eyes, one green

Hazel's asleep in the hayloft

Down the road drowning in dry grass

In the sweet maiden's lap poisened with nightshade

Witches last laugh

Stick your thumb out

Lift up your skirt

Someone's gonna stop here soon

Take down your hair and wind up your grin

Someone's gonna take you home

Stick out your thumb and lift up your skirt

Someone's gonna stop here soon

Take down your hair and wind up your grin

Someone's gonna take you home

Even though red's not your color

I'll dress you in feathers

And fly you in the windy weather

Like a child bird marooned on an island of cats

Little dewy brawling cats

With cross-eyed and hats

They take mercy on you

They take you for walks

The mercy choir singing dismal hymns

Watery bible rhymes

All jumbled a mess

A mess of bright graves and flowers and balloons

Stick out your thumb

And lift up your skirt

Someone's bound to stop here soon

Take down your hair and wind up your grin

Someone's gonna take you home

Stick out your thumb and lift up your skirt

Someone's bound to stop here soon

Take down your hair and wind up your grin

Someone's gonna take you home

Stick out your thumb and lift up your skirt

Someone's bound to stop here soon

Take down your hair and wind up your grin

Someone's gonna take you home

With a knapsack of trinkets

I'm off to seek my fortune again

Chasing ghosts of dead orphans

Friend, cousin, or kin

We wave to the passer by

Moth wings of a butterfly

Endless tracks where no car pass

Close your eyes and you can fly

I'm off to meet my soul mate

A naked fawny jail bate

Wading into ponds

Filly with pollywogs at dawn

Mournin' the light

That slipped from my eyes

A little child with dirty nails

And dirty hair

I had dirty things scrawled upon my mind

Stick out your thumb and lift up your skirt

Someone's gonna stop here soon

Take down your hair, wind up your grin

Someone's gonna take you home

Stick out your thumb and lift up your skirt

Someone's gonna stop here soon

Take down your hair, wind up your grin

Someone's gonna take you home

Stick out your thumb and lift up your skirt

Someone's gonna stop here soon

Take down your hair, wind up your grin

Someone's gonna take you home

Stick out your thumb and lift up your skirt

Someone's gonna stop here soon

Take down your hair, wind up your grin

Someone's gonna take you home
