Babyshambles The Ballad Of Grimaldi Lyrics

The Ballad Of Grimaldi Lyrics



While there's still a fighting chance

Can't you just get up and go

And get away from this hollow romance

It's slowly binding us both

Because you tell me what you want and I'll avoid it

Tell it to the sick and to the damned

Show me what you love, watch me destroy it

For your love just crumbles in my hands



But if you stay for a while..

I'll try to think of something kind to say

And maybe if we pray for a while

St. Jude may hear my pleas

And see me on my bended knees



Because she knows how I adore you

We won't be fighting again tonight

Not if she knows I adore you

No fighting again tonight..



I laugh and fall just like Grimaldi

You wear your make-up like Baby Jane

All of those promising lies that you told me

Come on and tell me them again



I walked these streets all of my life..

The fear and hope

...



Because you tell him what you want and he'll avoid it

May as well tell it to the sick and to the damned

Show him what you love, watch him destroy it
