Lyrics - The Distillers Album - Gypsy Rose Lee


When I see you lay down
Under pink laquered skies
Baby, I’ll give you something
That ‘ll shut your eyes, to this mess

When I love you, baby
I mean it more than just the whole world
And when I take a picture that’s instant
Lost tonight, it gets burned

I said, I remember it so
I saw your eyes go through the tunnel
And I remember, Australian sun
I was eight years old, you, Marilyn Monroe

Oh, you gotta take it, oh yeah, take it on
Playing backyard blues, blacktart stuck up in their jaw
I can nail, I’ll nail this on
Oh, she ate the whole world

Oh, I’ve tasted
I tasted too, too many nights lost in space
I remember
Kneeling down my knees caught in the ground

When I love you, baby
I mean it more than just the whole world
And when I saw Gypsy Rose,
Gypsy Rose, she rose to me

I remember a rolling stone
Rolling on down through the bones
Oh, ya gotta save, you gotta save your soul
Well, she hates the whole world

When I love you, baby
I mean it more than just the whole world
And when I saw Gypsy Rose,
Gypsy Rose, she rose to me

I love you, baby
I mean it more than just the whole world
And when...
I know your sin, I know sin
I know your wings
