Lyrics
Maxine
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.
Creases in your white dress
Bruises on your bare skin
Looks like another fine mess
You've got yourself into
What's the matter with you?
Has the cat got your tongue?
Well if you don't like the beat
Then don't play with the drum
Maxine, you're not the only one
To take the whole world on
But no one's ever won
Maxine, case 1352
A red and green tattoo
Eyes cold steel blue
On a rain-slicked avenue
Long shadows in the night
Take off your spike-heeled shoes
You've go to run for your life
Razor blade in your pocket
From an ex-marine
Makes you speed like a rocket
Ooh, it cuts so clean
Maxine, you're not the only one
To take the whole world on
But no one's ever won
Maxine, case 1352
A red and green tattoo
Eyes cold steel blue
How come you're payin' for borrowed time
Starin' out into space?
Bad boys and cold comfort
And a smacked-up face
Maxine, you're not the only one
To take the whole world on
But no one's ever won
Maxine, case 1352
A red and green tattoo
Eyes cold steel blue
Who's that walking, walking behind you
Who's that walking, talking about you
Who's that walking, walking with you, maxine?
