Lyrics Neko Case – Prison Girls
Text:
Where am I tonight? La, da, da
My hotel room won’t remember me
And this dream will die, die by morning
And this dream won’t remember me
Awakened by a droning voice
I love your long shadows and your gunpowder eyes
Is it a lady or is it a man
Humming helicopters through the blades of a fan
I love your long shadows and your gunpowder eyes
I love your long shadows and your gunpowder eyes
On my feet to chase it down
The lights were spokes and rungs away
I stumbled back and hit the floor
Long shadows crawl beneath the door
To a passage so poorly lit
There’s moths flying away from it
Who am I tonight? La, da, da
My hotel room won’t remember me
Darkness enter prison girls
Pushing mops and kicking pails
Now’s my chance
I clasp my chest
And declare unto my audience
I love your long shadows and your gunpowder eyes
I love your long shadows and your gunpowder eyes
Prison girls are not impressed
They’re the ones that have to clean this mess
They’ve traded more for cigarettes
Than I’ve managed to express
Filing past miles long
The prison girls have filled their beds
Their thoughts too dry above their heads
I love your long shadows and your gunpowder eyes
