Lyrics
Dodging Assassins
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.
Your voice was frightened and kind of dreamy
You said you simply had to see me
And there you were with your martini
Your diamonds were large and your dress was teeny
Dodging assassins two by two
They want your ruby slippers and your little dog, too
Your words had me shaken
Your dress had me stirred
I guess I didn't answer
'cause you asked if I had heard
In your face I watched the lines
The growing lines of anguish
In the air I watched the smoke
From your cigarette languish
There in your face I saw the light
Like you, a fugitive of the night
I took a shot and said that I might
Help you to dodge your assassins
Dodging assassins two by two
They want your ruby slippers and your little dog, too
Like Dorathy I fall...
Little dog and all
There's vampires in the sun
My dear one, they want a piece of you
They want your ruby slippers, baby
And I know they want your little dog, too
Dodging assassins two by two
They want your ruby slippers and your little dog, too...
I don't know why
They want you dead
But now that I've helped you
I think they also want my head
I don't know why they want a piece of you
They want your ruby slippers and your little dog too
