saint monica - the ballroom thieves lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
she stood like a wolf in the doorway
the others laid bare on the ground
and now she makes her bed
out in brooklyn instead
and i sleep with the godd-mn hounds

her voice for a moment of lenience
and her words for the coin in your jar
and while she pays her dues
as another man’s muse
i still can’t tell my head from my heart

[chorus]
i cannot know all that i am
lest i forget i’m a decent man

[verse 2]
now she drinks and i smoke as we please to
while the other men fall to their knees
and a trifling part
in the back of my heart
says if ever that coward is me

maybe if i begged some old saint for her patience
and then sold it to pay for her time
til i wake up one day
and to all my dismay
that old face in the coffin is mine

[chorus]
i cannot know all that i am
lest i forget i’m a decent man
oh, i’m a decent man

she stood like a wolf in the doorway
