long blondes - swallow tattoo lyrics
give me a good film noir and a bottle of gin
i’ll be happy just to stay inside,
i didn’t want to get too involved
but i like how hard you tried.
to my horror,
a former lover told me you’ve always had a swallow tattoo
now you tell me it’s a sign of devotion
but devotion to who?
don’t think i’m a martyr to the cause
she’s got her reasons putting cats amongst the pigeons
but i’d rather just stay indoors.
an antique emblem set in ink
it didn’t mean a thing to you,
now i’ve been wronged by proxy
goodbye, happiness, i hardly knew ya.
to my horror,
a former lover told me you’ve always had a swallow tattoo
now you tell me it’s a sign of devotion
but devotion to who?
you fill me, you fill me
you fill me with inertia
you fill me with inertia
i still want, i still want to jump
i want to jump your bones.
don’t tell her, tell her anything
because i’m bound to see her later today
and if she can’t keep a straight face
then i’ll know.
to my horror,
a former lover told me you’ve always had a swallow tattoo
now you tell me it’s a sign of devotion
but devotion to who?
i’d rather just stay indoors.
