You didn't know, you couldn't stand to watch it all slip through your hands The wayward angel, your promised land, they've burnt to the ground Stone-drunk on halloween, the shift is like some trick to me When a call comes from your balcony but no one's around So pick your fight, break down the door, endless nights waging war against yourself on the bathroom floor, spilling it out Now I'm on the bed, her hair's undone, my face is wet Her face is worn from empty years and bitter scorn and a Victorian love I don't wanna cause you grief and I don't wanna take the lead Hey little girl, all I wanna see is you getting off Clenching thirst and heavy breath, naked as the night we met You left it up to me I guess but I'm slow on the draw So while the poor boys sit lonesome at the last call and the shy ones stare down at their toes I'll make way for that woman and the mean kingdom coming I get tired walking these streets alone And I call her my Bridge City Rose, yeah, I'll call her my Bridge City Rose The garden on her windowsill, her crystal moons and family stills jawbone treasures, beatnik thrills and blood-red mulled wine The sweetgum hanging overhead, with books I bought but never read Can I lay low here, can I stop instead and stay for a while? 'Cause I cant remember the last time I wasn't drawn in neon lights Say come drink up the water's fine and the whiskey's half off Songtexte But before you find yourself torn between lovers or you're stuck wearing yesterday's clothes Best make way for that lady and her sweet spirit breaking Fine glass against any old stone Yeah I called her my Bridge City Rose, yeah, I called her my Bridge City Rose Aus Songtexte Mania
