Fishnets And Cigarettes

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I was sittin' there all alone I was prayin' you would come home I was listenin' to an old blues song You see, I'm wounded, wounded and bleeding Won't you ease my pain? You're gettin' a little impatient Smokin' like a mental patient [Chorus] Happiness, fishnets and cigarettes A pagan monkey in a dress Tell me who can arrest A mind ensnared by love? [Verse 2] 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', mischievous and earthy [Chorus] Happiness, fishnets and cigarettes A pagan monkey in a dress Tell me who can arrest A mind ensnared by love? [Verse 3] Talkin' 'bout slayin' a 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 [Chorus] 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? Howdy baby, hey baby Please stay with me, I pray Hey baby, hey baby Don't let me cry in vain
