Neko Case - Star Witness lyrics

My true love drowned in a dirty old pan

Of oil that did run from the block

Of a falcon sedan 1969

The paper said '75

There were no survivors

None found alive

Trees break the sidewalk

And the sidewalk skins my knees

There's glass in my thermos

And blood on my jeans

Nickels and dimes of the fourth of july

Roll off in a crooked line

To the chain-link lots where the red tails dive

Oh how I forgot what it's like

Hey when she sings, when she sings when she sings like she runs

Moves like she runs

Hey when she moves, when she moves when she moves like she runs

Moves like she runs

Hey there there's such tender wolves 'round town tonight

Round the town tonight

Hey there there's such tender wolves 'round town tonight

Round the town tonight

Hey pretty baby get high with me,

We can go to my sisters if we say we'll watch the baby"

The look on your face yanks my neck on the chain

And I would do anything

To see you again

So I've fallen behind:

Hey when she sings, when she sings when she sings like she runs

Moves like she runs

Hey when she moves, when she moves when she moves like she runs

Moves like she runs

Hey there there's such tender wolves 'round town tonight

Round the town tonight

Hey there there's such tender wolves 'round town tonight

Round the town tonight

Go on, go on scream and cry

You're miles from where anyone will find you

This is nothing new, no television crew

They don't even put on the sirens

My nightgown sweeps the pavement

Please don't let him die

Oh how I forgot...
