lyrics

Jukebox in the corner
Scratches sputters and toils
Sputters and toils
Scratches sputters and toils
She ain’t that pretty
But she knows how to howl
That hallow high cheekbone moan
With bottoms up courage
The barstool drumrolls
The fortune teller looks worried
The sword swallower chokes
You can’t remember your name
Ain’t nobody got a home
The monkeys dance the tarantula

Bitch city bitch city getting your kicks
Getting your kicks getting you kicks
Bitch city bitch city oh what have I missed?
Blow me a kiss back home

All the vulgar dandles
With their rat a tat tat
The Cuban heeled cuties
With a skip in their step

You gotta walk light
When you’re stepping in shit
Throwing the dog a bone
Bitch city fangs
Really sink in your neck
Diggin’ those nails
Up and down your back
She’s painting in your ear
With the stench of her breath
Ashin’ her cigarette in your fresh beer

Smudged mascara fuck
She won’t let you sleep
She won’t let you get up
She make you crawl on your knees
And beg for her love
In the buzzing bee heat
As her streets hum
The cracked up dawn
Sucking the moon dry
Burnt out constellations
Of an invisible sky
Bitch city blowing
Smoke in your eyes
All blood shot with love
