Fishnets And Cigarettes lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was sittin' there all alone
I was prayin' you would come home
I was listenin' to an old blues song
You see, I'm wounded, wounded and bleeding
Won't you ease my pain?
You're gettin' a little impatient
Smokin' like a mental patient

[Chorus]
Happiness, fishnets and cigarettes
A pagan monkey in a dress
Tell me who can arrest
A mind ensnared by love?

[Verse 2]
A rogue elephant for a mind
And it's treatin' me so unkind
But in my heart it's an old blues song
Playful and b*tchin', mischievous and earthy

[Chorus]
Happiness, fishnets and cigarettes
A pagan monkey in a dress
Tell me who can arrest
A mind ensnared by love?
[Verse 3]
Talkin' 'bout slayin' a 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

[Chorus]
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 can arrest
A mind ensnared by love?

Howdy baby, hey baby
Please stay with me, I pray
Hey baby, hey baby
Don't let me cry in vain
