Siamese Cities
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.
I said I'm sorry to change my mind
It was a little bit cold that night
Was dreading the ride back to little Italy
And needing to hide out from my mind.
When you walk, you move like Moses
When you look, you look like red roses
Every day breaks, bitter river was a flood
Why did you leave me in between Siamese cities?
I saw the sky in you, what did you see in me?
This Rubbermaid's had better days
Shaken out, static anonymity, vanity
Don't roar, die down
When you take, you turn me over
From the street rock radio, plays "Crimson and Clover"
(over and over)
Every day breaks, bitter river was a flood
Why did you leave me in between Siamese cities?
When you walk, you move like Moses
When you look, you look like red roses
Every day breaks, bitter river was a flood
Why did you leave me in between Siamese cities?
Sha la la la
Sha la la la
Temporarily
She is shaken out static anonymity
She is shaken out static anonymity
She is shaken, temporarly
She is shaken, temporarly, (ah ah)
She is shaken out, static anonymity
She is shaken out, static anonymity
La la la (anonymity)
She is shaken out, static anonymity (La la la)
temporarly (ah ah)
Sha la la la (anonymity)
