lyrics

I hide among the shipwrecks
with all the broken misfits
they tell me of lost dreams
what might have been

Down there at Lone Gun
next to Rawhide
I watch that girl dance
with the devil green eyes
…devil green eyes

I got stingray boots
a madonna on my back and she weeps
I got a wolf on my chest
I got gold in my teeth

There is a switchblade in my pocket
right next to my little stash
but if you want a taste
it’s cold hard cash
….cold hard cash

I live on the wrong side of midnight
I live with my only friend sin
Every night we go out dancing
on the head of a pin

I got a slippery neck
every time they go for the cord
every time they summon up the lord
I just slip right through

If you see me on the horizon
a distant murder of crows
best you move right over
to the other side of the road

I hide amongst the shipwrecks
All the broken down misfits
they tell me about their lost dreams
and what might have been

…I don’t believe a word
I don’t believe a God damn word…
