Bill Mallonee Wintergreen Lyrics

Wintergreen Lyrics

she pops a stick of wintergreen 

outside the cash machine 

it's lonely being lovely all the time 

yeah when the rules all changed 

the strange terrain of love's modern games 

the ones that you play in your mind



yeah i was across the block 

baby when the bomb went off 

but i felt it just the same 

i knew it was meant for me 

but you're a little bad with your trajectory 

still my heart's a bit shellshocked



how could you walk away 

from this so easily?



dead of night and the city's bright 

caught blinking at the traffic light 

the tapes are so hard to erase 

baby i've been going wrong 

ever since you've been gone 

are you chasing or being chased?



yeah i got a heart of stone 

everybody's got a stain glass soul 

i've been sleeping at Gethsemene 

got mother Mary and a rosary 

you had secrets and i had baggage 

together we decided to unpack it 

dreamed a dream now you're laughing at it 

you're just a girl in a leather jacket



dead of night and the city's bright 

caught blinking at the traffic light 

it's a drink or an SM-58 

baby, we've been going wrong 

ever since you've been gone 

are you chasing or being chased?
