Nickel Romeo
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.
Hey sugar, I had that dream again
I saw you in your red crushed velvet suit
Longin' on my feather bed
A Cheshire Cat in yellow Beatle boots
Who's that stranger lying in your arms
Her fingers running down your tattooed chest
Valentino's crankin' up the charm
And it's comin' like a freight train
These pictures in my head
Hey Mister (Mister) Nickel Romeo (Nickel Romeo)
Everybody knows your name
Hey, hey Mister (Mister) tell me Mister
What's the game.
Falling, yes, she will fall
Your latest victim bites her lip and sighs
She'll do the nasty job for you
Incriminating kisses on the sly
All I remember how you get your kicks
Preying on the innocent at night
Strange desperation, ya gotta cop that fix
Makin' every little girl is keepin' you alive
Hey Mister (Mister) Nickel Romeo (Nickel Romeo)
Everybody knows your name
Hey, hey Mister (Mister) tell me Mister
What's the game.
Oh, Nickel Romeo, you got no shame.
Hey Mister (Mister) Nickel Romeo (Nickel Romeo)
Everybody knows your name
Hey, hey Mister (Mister) tell me Mister
What's the game.
Hey mister (Mister) Nickel Romeo (Nickel Romeo)
Everybody knows your name
Hey, hey Mister (yeah!) you're the master
Of this game.
Because you got no shame
I think I'm goin' insane
And you're to blame.
