lyrics

The whale song told the old victrola
the world’s gone crazy hold me soldier
you’re the closed sign on the glass door
of the ghost town’s mom and pop drug store
where the bull horn hollers out old scores
from the whore house to the dance-floor

Alessandra I am haunted but I promise that I want you
even though i know you’re no good friend of mine

While I was out on some fool’s errand
you were dressed like Habsburg’s harem
i wanted to touch like you were the moon
when i was a child I knew
if you do people act like you’re hopeless
if you don’t then no one will notice

Alessandra I am haunted but I promise that I want you
even though i know you’re no good friend of mine
for the artwork that covers these walls is fine advertisement and all
but you’re the only one that draws my mind
