Lyrics Grant-Lee Phillips

Grant-Lee Phillips

Wish I Knew

Aint nobody there to step on the brakes

Lit up like Tijauna city carnival lights

Mmm, why somebody better pull up the shades

Hey, hey, hey , second time ya had to kiss her goodnight

Outside the motorcycle devils

Rev for the cruise

Buddha's in the alley, working the Rue

Ping, ping-a-rain a comin’ down the edge of the roof

Thinkin’ I’d be a little mystified to

Wish I knew

Wish I knew

Drop another silver plug for the damned

Don’t forget to make it a wish

Mmm, Yellow thunder bolt a' Shazzam

Isn't very likely to miss

Shutters on the winda’ beatin’ like wings

Smoke a’ backin’ up & up in the flu

Hounds are in the gutter startin’ to sing

Thinkin’ I’d be a little mystified too

Wish I knew

Wish I knew

Wish I knew

Li Di Di da da da da da da Di Di Di Di ...

Sooner or later gotta’ live in your skin

Sleepin’ in the very bed that you make

Some walking dead behind the Wayfarer lenses

Hangin' by the skin your teeth

Motorcycle devils

Rev for the cruise

Soldiers in the alley working the rue

Little bitty pretty one

What’s got into you

Thinkin’ I’d be a little mystified too

Wish I knew

Wish I knew

Wish I knew

Li Di Di da da da da da da Di Di Di Di ...

Wish I knew

Wish I knew

Better than ta do as I please

Better than ta skin my knees

Better than a fallin’ for

Wish I knew

Wish I knew

Wish I knew

Li Di Di da da da da da da Di Di Di Di ...(3x)
