Album: Sound of Lies

Haywire

Billy was a vampire
Carving out an empire
Strolling Pirates¡¯ Alley in the middle of the night
Buy a round of cocktails
Spinning sordid fables in the twilight
That¡¯s all right
Scattered words that matter
It¡¯s a disaster in the making
Take the time to smell the leaves beneath the trees
( Smile, smile, smile)
That¡¯s all right
Chorus:
My whole life has gone haywire
I¡¯m just a blade bending in your shade
For your love I¡¯m a vampire
Strolling the ways of Esplanade
I headed up to Pittsburgh
Heard you could get a pretty god sandwich
For fifteen and a dime
Ooh, what I miss that old stretch of road
Down to the Bayou
In the middle of the night
Guilt by association
The mere smell of speculation conjures up for hell
That¡¯s all right
Feel the touch of oil from the tankers upon the breeze
( Smile, smile, smile)
Yeah, that¡¯s all right
(Chorus)
That¡¯s my whole life in a nutshell
Take it as you will
I can hear that old brass band
Playing our song down the hill
That¡¯s all right
Won¡¯t you smile, smile, smile. That¡¯s all right
Won¡¯t you smile, smile, smile. That¡¯s all right
Won¡¯t you smile the smile
That fills the room with an independent light
But that¡¯s all right
