Lyrics
Jack The Ripper
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.
Oh you look so tired
Mouth slack and wide
Ill housed and ill advised
Your face is as mean as your life has been
Crash into my arms, I want you
You don't agree, but you don't refuse
I know you
And I know a place
Where no one is likely to pass
And you don't care if you're late
And you don't care if you're lost
But oh you look so tired
But tonight you presume too much, too much, too much
And if it's the last thing I ever do, I'm gonna get you
Crash into my arms, I want you
You don't agree, but you don't refuse
I know you
And no one knows a thing about me
I come and go as I please
Crash into my arms, I want you
You don't agree, but you don't refuse
I know you
Crash into my arms, I want you
You don't agree, but you don't refuse
I know you
