Sometimes a Blonde

Sometimes A Blonde - Robyn Hitchcock

And ghosts walk in the bodies of children

With their own guns proud to be on video

Young enough to feel like the skin grows back yeah

And ghosts walk in the shadows of an obsolete scene

Plum straw plum light blue plum straw plum

Ask for Colin and he'll eat you

And time only comes around again

At the end

And ghosts walk in the ambulations of hound dogs

Bonbons cinemas and Matalo

Make you number seven walk the wrong way round

Yeah

And they walk in the twenty-first century

And you are gonna get yourself together now

Aren't you

I know you're a blonde sometimes

I know you fade

Heavenly nightshade

Heavenly nightshade

And ghosts walk in the fire of angels

Honeycombs and principles

Ocelots and meerkats

Catch you looking stupid but you just don't care

When your sights are on infinity

You don't fire blanks no

I know you're a blonde sometimes

I know you fade

You fade and you're gone sometimes

I met a shapeshifter

I let her fade

Heavenly nightshade

Ooh heavenly nightshade

Ooh heavenly nightshade

It's where you came from
