Prison Girls

Where am I tonight? La, da, da

My hotel room won't remember me

And this dream will die, die by morning

And this dream won't remember me

Awakened by a droning voice

I love your long shadows and your gunpowder eyes

Is it a lady or is it a man

Humming helicopters through the blades of a fan

I love your long shadows and your gunpowder eyes

I love your long shadows and your gunpowder eyes

On my feet to chase it down

The lights were spokes and rungs away

I stumbled back and hit the floor

Long shadows crawl beneath the door

To a passage so poorly lit

There's moths flying away from it

Who am I tonight? La, da, da

My hotel room won't remember me

Darkness enter prison girls

Pushing mops and kicking pails

Now's my chance

I clasp my chest

And declare unto my audience

I love your long shadows and your gunpowder eyes

I love your long shadows and your gunpowder eyes

Prison girls are not impressed

They're the ones that have to clean this mess

They've traded more for cigarettes

Than I've managed to express

Filing past miles long

The cheek is frozen to the floor

The prison girls have filled their beds

Their thoughts too dry above their heads

I love your long shadows and your gunpowder eyes
