New York Dolls - Fishnets and Cigarettes lyrics

Your rating:
I was sittin' there all alone

I was prayin' you would come home

I was listenin' to an old blues song



(Baby, 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 drss

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'

Mischievious 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' the 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?

(Baby, I'm wounded

Wounded and bleeding

Won't you ease my pain?

Hey baby

Hey baby

Don't let me cry in vain)



*NOTE: a lot of the words here are either mumbled or so thickly

buried in Johansen's accent i can't make them out. if you can, PLEASE edit this song!
