Lucy - Simple Creatures

The water won’t boil think I’ve been staring too long

This house is on fire and I don’t want to get out of my bed

Get out of my bed

The streets of this town are cracked and crumbling now

Been tripping for miles and I don’t want to go home to what’s left

So tell me what’s left

I want to be the driver of your getaway car

Stash the paper bag at the back of the bar

Smile through the pain and run away from your past

Leave the handgun

Take the cash

Can we make an honest woman out of Lucy

Gotta make an honest woman out of Lucy

Sharpen your mouth let words come tumbling out

Stare into space til silence breaks through the crowd

What’s next was it something she said

Tighten that grip on heaven just to hold on

No, you don’t care what it’s just been too fucking long

Since they said take whatever’s left

So tell me about a world that ran away with your heart

Pulled apart your ribs and left you broken and scarred

Smile through the pain and run away from your past

Leave the handgun

Take the cash

Can we make an honest woman out of Lucy

Gotta make an honest woman out of Lucy

Leave the handgun

Take the cash

Hiding out at a lonely diner

Still awake from the night before

So afraid of the past behind you

Lay low from the uniform

Back lot with the blue lights flashing

Radio in a 914

Find yourself on the concrete gasping

Staring up at a uniform

Can we make an honest woman out of Lucy

Gotta make an honest woman out of Lucy
