Tanya Donelly

Whiskey Tango

You accuse me of fancy talk

When i'm just trying to find my words

You've got a funny way of saying my name

Like i just ripped it off

These whiskey tango ghosts

Won't leave us alone

But you are too polite to complain

Of the art of speaking plain

I haven't gathered a thing

While I know we're dug in deep here

Why can't we live high with the wind

You're just a freckle away from changing everything

I'll make this easy

By calling on my gypsy pedigree

These whiskey tango ghosts

Won't leave us alone

Of the art of speaking plain

I haven't gathered a thing

While i know we're dug in deep here

Why can't we live high with the wind

Can't we live

Of the art of making waves

I had my lesson in spades

And these ghosts they make it plain

They're never going away

And my ghost she makes it plain

I haven't gathered a thing

Though I know we're dug in deep here

Why can't we live high with the wind

Can't we live

You accuse me of fancy talk

When i'm just trying to find my words

You've got a funny way of saying my name

Like i just ripped it off

These whiskey tango ghosts

Won't leave us alone

But you are too polite to complain

Of the art of speaking plain

I haven't gathered a thing

While I know we're dug in deep here

Why can't we live high with the wind

You're just a freckle away from changing everything

I'll make this easy

By calling on my gypsy pedigree

These whiskey tango ghosts

Won't leave us alone

Of the art of speaking plain

I haven't gathered a thing

While i know we're dug in deep here

Why can't we live high with the wind

Can't we live

Of the art of making waves

I had my lesson in spades

And these ghosts they make it plain

They're never going away

And my ghost she makes it plain

I haven't gathered a thing

Though I know we're dug in deep here

Why can't we live high with the wind

Can't we live
