The Jayhawks - Haywire lyrics

Billy was a vampire Carving out an empire Strolling Pirates' Alley in the middle of the night Buy a round of co*ktails 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 a**ociation 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 bra** 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 (Repeat 4 times - Fade)
