Jackie And Wilson (Live)

Jackie And Wilson (Live) - Hozier

So tired trying to see from

Behind the red in my eyes

No better version of me

I could pretend to be tonight

So deep in the swirl with the most familiar swine

For reasons wretched and divine

She blows out of nowhere

Roman candle of the wild

Laughing away through my feeble disguise

No other version of me

I would rather to be tonight

Lord she found me just in time

'Cause with my mid-youth crisis all said and done

I need to be youthfully felt

'Cause God I never felt young

She's gonna save me call me baby

Run her hands through my hair

She'll know me crazy soothe me daily

But yet she wouldn't care

We'll steal her Lexus be detectives

Ride round pickin' up clues

We'll name our children Jackie and Wilson

Raise them on rhythm and blues

Lord it'd be great to find a place

We could escape sometime

Me and my isis growing black irises in the sunshine

Every version of me dead

And buried in the yard outside

Sit back and watch the world go by

Happy to lie back watch it burn and rust

We tried to work good God it wasn't for us

She's gonna save me call me baby

Run her hands through my hair

She'll know me crazy soothe me daily

But yet she wouldn't care

We'll steal her Lexus be detectives

Ride round pickin' up clues

We'll name our children Jackie and Wilson

Raise them on rhythm and Blues

Cut clean from the dream that night

Let my mind reset

Looking up from the cigarette she's already left

I start thinking of the art for what's left of me

And our little vignette

For whatever pour soul is coming next

She's gonna save me call me baby

Run her hands through my hair

She'll know me crazy soothe me daily

But yet she wouldn't care

We'll steal her Lexus be detectives

Ride around pickin' up clues

We'll name our children Jackie and Wilson

Raise them on rhythm and Blues
