I was sittin' there all alone
I was prayin' you would come home
I was listenin' to an old blues song

(Baby, I'm wounded
Wounded and bleeding
Won't you ease my pain?)

You're gettin' a little impatient
Smokin' like a mental patient

Happiness
Fishnets and cigarettes
A pagan monkey in a dress
Tell me who I impress?
A mind ensnared by love

(???)
And it's treatin' me so unkind
But in my heart it's an old blues song
Playful and bitchin'
Mischievious and earthy

Happiness
Fishnets and cigarettes
A pagan monkey in a dress
Tell me who I impress?
A mind ensnared by love

Talk about slayin' the 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

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 I impress?
A mind ensnared by love
(*mumbled lines*
Hey baby
Hey baby
Don't let me cry in vain)

*NOTE: a lot of the words here are either mumbled or so thickly
buried in Johansen's accent i can't make them out. if you can, PLEASE edit this song!
