She Looked Like You Lyrics by The Demon Drink

Highway Robbery

0

[Intro]
Hey!
[Verse 1]
I met a girl, she looked like you
But she wasn't, this was clear
From the corner of her tears
The light comes shinin' through
She said, "I don't think that it's me"
I said, "You're wrong, it's a disguise," she laughed
And told me not to keep on tellin'
All these lies
[Verse 2]
Said the lies are yours to keep
And they are sacred and a vow
And if you shout 'em, shout 'em loud
Or give 'em back to me
She said, "Well, if I whisper them like a prayer
Cloak them in a song
Will a song hang in the air?
Should we turn the radio on?"
[Bridge]
And then she claimed I didn't hear
I read her lips, I stood the glare
Every curse and hollow sneer
Every letter, truth and dare
Undid me like the morning after
Three straight weeks of oil and water
Give me up or give me shelter
Gimme fire, gimme air
[Verse 3]
We talked some more outside
She gave me her address
Drag me to heaven, I musta died
Pinch me if I haven't yet
[Verse 4]
She took a charm from a folded rag
She didn't say that it was for luck
She said, "Rub it like you mean it when you wanna be had
And like I had it when you didn't have much"
And I still see the look in her eyes
For her part I cannot say
But if she looks for rhyme in a tangle of lies
She may yet look my way
[Bridge]
And if the war is all but over
If beside the field, a river
Bends the way a drunk would sober
Kneel before a cup of razors
If behind the lines of fire
Smoking shells, coils of wire
If I see her, hear her laughter
Breathe her under, taste her sighs
[Outro]
She hailed a taxi
I watched her through the glass
And wondered, "Would her hair be red
And would the money last?"
Then I myself departed
With the trinket she'd given me still
Wrapped in the rag inside my bag
And I walked on down the hill
Hey!
