The Wave Pictures Jimmy Reed Lyrics

I, stole the train out of your dream now you're full of bitter themes
standing by the fruit machines you showed me what ambition means.
you're a highly paid actress struggling to get work as a waitress,
you ran away from the circus to go to school,
this ripe tomato that you call your brain
is beginning, to get on my nerves again
Oh David, you said, sometimes life gets complicated
the telephone sweet telephone the kind of talk I've always hated
yeah, I said yeah, I said yeah, I said yeah
baby you don't have to go, yeah, yeah yeah yeah
cos Jimmy Reed he told you so
I would like to die tonight without any feelings of guilt,
no use cryin over all the milk I've spilled,
on bedrooms floors, behind closed doors, on silk tight ladies bellies
well I called about your hair your legs your eyes your mouth your skin
and I got drunk and fell asleep and dreamed of all the places you had been,
every dream ended in violence, the rest is silence
David, you said, my mouth is sweet as pink ice cream
David you said, I will get you in my dreams
oh yeah, I said yeah, I said yeah? yeah?
baby you don't have to go, yeah
Jimmy Reed he told you so, yeah
(short solo)
Well it's raining, squirrels, hedgehogs, pigs and moths
and I am in my bedroom worshiping fake gods
Gene Simmons tongue it keeps the world turning
you stalk my liver with a volcanic quiver, my pancreas is burning
David, you said I live my life like birthday cake
every year another layer, every year a new mistake
yeah, I said yeah, I said yeah, I said yayayayayeah oh
baby you don't have to go, yeah, yeah
ya know Jimmy Reed he told you so, yeah
Your swimming trunks, your cigarettes, your dusty Spanish castanets
your childish brothers childish threats, the (______?) microwave cooking.
It took you a month to learn my name now I wish you would forget it
all the stuff you said would mess up my head but don't worry I do not let it.
David you said, sometimes I feel like I lost a bet,
when boys blow kisses at my (___? __? ________?), it burns my soul like a cigarette,
oh yeah! I said yeah, I said yayayayayayayeaheyeahyeah
baby you don't have to go, yeah, I said yeah
ya know Jimmy Reed he told you so, yeah, yeah
oh baby you don't have to go, no no no no no no no no no no no
Jimmy Reed he told you so
