Lost Girls Lyrics
Lost Girls - CocoRosie
Warming the hearts of tragic hoodlum spirits
Brighten the eyes of petty thieves who crawl at night
Who feign to use a knife
Jingle jangle the cosmos are on fire
The blazing loins of the criminal choir
Rejoice to be alive
Broken and depraved
Sullied mop and rusted pail
Centuries of poison to escape this heaven or hell
This earthly cell of dead flowers and so many wounded foes
It's hard to remember fantasy or horror
Unwarranted caresses
Little Lolitas who want to be held in large hands
Dear Father who art in heaven
Hollow be thy name
Witches confused by their own magic
Witches displeased by their own perfume
Shame-lock woman
Shaman woman fuming with shame
Love-lock woman
Women their own magic women
Shadow body shadow spirit
White blood blue night
Angel's lyrics
Female creature wilted high in the rafters
Orgies of dust and butterfly laughter
Shadows spilling into the babe's milk
Sorry eyes of ghost's memoir
Four blue plus two that makes six
That's twelve times two
Two brown eyes one green
Hazel's asleep in the hayloft
Down the road drowning in dry grass
In the sweet maiden's lap poisoned with nightshade
Witches' last laugh
Stick your thumb out and lift up your skirt
Someone's bound to stop here soon
Take down your hair wind up your grin
Someone's gonna take you home
Stick out your thumb and lift up your skirt
Someone's gonna stop here soon
Take down your hair and wind up your grin
Someone's gonna take you home
Even though red's not your color
I'll dress you in feathers
And fly you in the windy weather
Like a child bird marooned on an island of cats
Little dewy brawling cats
With cross-eyes and hats
They take mercy on you
They take you for walks
The mercy choir singing dismal hymns
Watery bible rims
All jumbled a mess
A mess of bright graves and flowers and balloons
Stick out your thumb and lift up your skirt
Someone's bound to stop here soon
Take down your hair and wind up your grin
Someone's gonna take you home
Stick out your thumb and lift up your skirt
Someone's bound to stop here soon
Take down your hair and wind up your grin
Someone's gonna take you home
With a knapsack of trinket
I'm off to seek my fortune again
Chasing ghosts of dead orphans
Friend cousin or kin
We wave to the passer by
Moth wings of a butterfly
Endless tracks where no car pass
Close your eyes and you can fly
I'm off to meet my soul mate
A naked fawny jailbait
Wading into ponds
Filly with polliwogs at dawn
Mourning the light that slipped from my eyes
A little child with dirty nails and dirty hair
I had dirty things scrawled upon my mind
Stick out your thumb and lift up your skirt
Someone's bound to stop here soon
Take down your hair wind up your grin
Someone's gonna take you home
Stick out your thumb and lift up your skirt
Someone's bound to stop here soon
Take down your hair wind up your grin
Someone's gonna take you home
Stick out your thumb and lift up your skirt
Someone's bound to stop you soon
Take down your hair and wind up your grin
'Cuz someone's gonna take you home
Stick out your thumb and lift up your skirt
Someone's bound to stop you soon
Take down your hair and wind up your grin
Someone's gonna take you home
