When i see you lay down
Under pink laquered skies
Baby ill give you something
That'll shut your eyes
To this mess
And, when i love you, baby
I mean it more than just the whole world
And when i take a picture thats instant
It gets lost tonight it gets burned
I said
I remember it so
I saw your eyes
Go through the tunnel
And i remember
Australian sun
I was eight years old
You marilyn monroe ..
Oh gotta take it
Oh yeah take it on
Playing backyard blues,
Blacktart stuck up in their jaw
I can nail
Ill nail this on
Oh she hate the whole world, I'll brake you donw
Oh ive tasted it, tasted, in too many nights
Lost in space i remember kneeling down
My knees caught in the ground
When i love you baby
I mean more than just, the whole world
And when, I take a picture thets instant
It lost tonight, it get burned
I remember a rolling stone
Rolling on down through the bones
Oh ya gotta save you gotta save your soul
Well, she hates the whole world
And when I love you, baby
I mean it more than just the whole world
And when i saw gypsy rose gypsy rose she rose to me
I know your sin
I know sin sin sin
I know your wings
