Nails - Things You Left Behind lyrics
Your rating:
A pair of stockings, a pair of shoes A record by The Moody Blues A bottle of Chanel No. 5 A poster of a band called Dead or Alive A silk negligee and a black garter belt A book about how to get to know yourself A shirt you adopted used to be mine These are some of the things you left behind Paintings painted by a man you knew, someone you dated in '82 An autographed picture of Junior Wells I didn't even know you liked soul that well Three pieces of paper with cryptic notes Cigarettes you never smoked A bag of beads and fishing line These are some of the things you left behind A dozen contraceptive sponges Anyone here got a rhyme for sponges? Dental floss, some baby powder Fourteen cans of clam chowder Forgotten how much you liked that stuff Sex and clams you couldn't get enough Your driver's license in '79 These are some of the things you left behind A pack of rusty razor blades You threatened to use those things one day A nickel bag of Mexican pot You bought downtown in a parking lot A wedding band. Where'd that come from? Forget to tell me about someone? A bottle of cheap Italian wine These are some of the things you left behind A ticket stub to a Broadway play A button saying "Make My Day" A broken mirror with a lipstick smear A telephone number where the name's unclear Two pressed roses in a blank paged book Containing all the notes that you never took A Valentine card saying "Please Be Mine" These are some of the things you left behind A rosary, some holy cards A photo of your daddy's Brooklyn bar A list of possible job interviews A list I guess you chose not to use A glacine bag with a printed skull I didn't know things had gotten that dull A note on the door, one word, "Goodbye" These are some of the things you left behind A pair of stockings A garter belt An autographed picture of Junior Wells Cigarettes Dental floss Clam chowder A razor blade Wedding band Broken mirror with a lipstick smear A valentine card A rosary A glacine bag Heroin? Oh shit, not heroin One word, tacked up on my door One word…. "Goodbye"
