Fishnets And Cigarettes Lyrics

Fishnets And Cigarettes lyrics

I was sittin' there all alone

I was prayin' you would come home

I was listenin' to an old blues song

You see, I'm wounded, wounded and bleeding

Won't you ease my pain?



You're gettin' a little impatient

Smokin' like a mental patient



Happiness, fishnets and cigarettes

A pagan monkey in a dress

Tell me who can arrest

A mind ensnared by love?



A rogue elephant for a mind

And it's treatin' me so unkind

But in my heart it's an old blues song

Playful and bitchin', mischievous and earthy



Happiness, fishnets and cigarettes

A pagan monkey in a dress

Tell me who can arrest

A mind ensnared by love?



Talk about slayin' a snake

You got my heart bound up in shame

But in my soul it's an old blues song



This life can be so tragic

Until you see the magic



Happiness, fishnets and cigarettes

A pagan monkey in a dress



I'm talking 'bout

Happiness, fishnets and cigarettes

A pagan monkey in a dress

Tell me who can arrest

A mind ensnared by love?



Howdy baby, hey baby

Please stay with me, I pray

Hey baby, hey baby

Don't let me cry in vain
