I was sittin there all alone

I was praying you would come home

I was listening to an old Blues song

(Muffled lines)

Getting a little impatient

Smoking like a mental patient

Happiness. Fishnets and Cigarettes

I'll be a monkey in a dress

Tell me who can I impress?***

I might be snared by love

Im gonna get a friend of mine ***

Who is treating me so unkind

But in my heart it is an old Blues song

Being full an ambigous

Mischevious and perfect

Happiness. Fishnets and Cigarettes

I'll be a monkey in a dress

Tell me who can I impress?***

I might be snared by love

Talk about slaying a snake ???

You got my heart bound up in shame

But in my soul its an old Blues song

It's like life can be so tragic

Until you see the magic

Happiness. Fishnets and Cigarettes

I'll be a monkey in a dress

I'm talking about happiness

Fishnets and Cigarettes

I'll be a monkey in a dress

Tell me who can I impress?***

I might be snared by love

Hey baby, Hey baby

________________

Hey baby, Hey baby

Don't le t me cry in vain
