Lyrics Mark Lanegan

Mark Lanegan

Paper Hat

From Idle Wild to Las Vegas

Walk in the desert wearing this paper hat

Stop for a minute in wonderland alley

I'll be Alice, you be the cheshire cat

They're singin', let it ride all night

I'm goin' down, so far down

They're singin', let it ride all night

I'm goin' down, and I'll stay down

How you gonna throw my love away?

When it's the last one I'll ever know

Girl, don't you throw my love away

It feels like the last winning hand I'll ever hold

Theatre of the grotesque, I can't stop blame

And I'm still losing after all this time

Fly me direct to Bermuda or connect in Miami

Take me somewhere to fix my worried mind

They're singin', let it rain, bring the pain

I'm goin' down, so far down

They're singin', let it rain, bring the pain

I'm goin' down and I'll stay down

How you gonna throw my love away?

When it's the last one I'll ever know

Don't you throw my love away

It feels like the last winnin' hand I'll ever hold

Through twenty nine arms to Las Vegas

Walk in the desert wearin' this paper hat

Theatre of the absurd, I can't stop laughin'

You be Jesus, I'll be a siamese cat

They're singin', let it ride all night

I'm goin' down, so far down

They're singin', let it ride all night

I'm goin' down and I'll stay down

How you gonna throw my love away?

When it's the last one I'll ever know

Girl, don't you throw my love away

It feels like the last winning hand I'll ever hold

How you gonna throw my love away?

When it's the last one I'll ever know
