japandroids - positively 34th street lyrics

my head was pounding, i was looking like h+ll
she sat down, said here honey, handed me a pill
put twenty on the table, two bourbon and two beer
we started talking, and my headache disappeared
bets and decks were business, little dice for fun
hit the town, drink away, any money that we won
didn’t share a bed, but we shared the same dreams
though left them all behind, the day, we left new orleans
she never said a word, still i could hear her from afar
crying out to me, to lift the curse, keeping us apart
the way it is, ain’t the way it supposed to be
why you and her, and not, you and me
years go by, tears go by, too much to explain
living on my own again, and sporting, a touch of grey
time is but a wind, blowing from whereabouts unknown
us towards each other, and always, away from home

but if i don’t hurry up, if i don’t make this bet
i might miss a moment lord knows i’ll regret
so i hit send, and this is what she said:
i’m a walking, talking, drinking, smoking, gambling kinda girl
and i been wined, dined, led on, lied to, many times before
i don’t bet on boys, they just love you, leave you blue, but
make it to my doorstep, i might roll the dice on you

now before you pack that suitcase, and set off for the south
there is something weighing on me, i want you to think about
we both love greasy diners, both love dark and dingy bars
but this here is a clean house, better, have a clean heart
at the crack of dawn, i was gone, gonna be ten hours time
burning down the blacktop, trying to make it there tonight
called to say, i’m on my way, but n0body picked up, and
i’m not sure if that means something, or just bad luck
but if i don’t hurry up, if i don’t make this bet
i might miss a moment lord knows i’ll regret
so i hit send, and this is what she said:
i’m a walking, talking, drinking, smoking, gambling kinda girl
and i been wined, dined, led on, lied to, many times before
i don’t bet on boys, they just love you, leave you blue, but
make it to my doorstep, i might roll the dice on you

i walked up to her doorstep, knocked upon that door
she answered, and those eyes afire, cut me to the core
if the worst should happen, well at least i got this song
but she motioned me inside, said: what took you so long
