Song Lyrics
the kind of knot your heart gets in
You re such a flirt, you even touch yourself, there s perfume burning in the air
You talk religion but she won t convert, she breaks the rules so you can see
you try to look away
You feel her then, you even touch yourself, any way you turn is going to hurt
You know how nights like this begin, shrapnel flying soldier hit the dirt
You even touch yourself, there s perfume burning in the air Alert, you feel her then
you try to look away
But all you want to do is get there first, and disappear
Shrapnel flying soldier hit the dirt, there s perfume burning in the air
But all you want to do is get there first, she tells you no and no again, you re such a flirt
all tangled up in nakedness
Bits of beauty everywhere, shrapnel flying soldier hit the dirt
Any way you turn is going to hurt, visions of her drawing near
any way you turn is going to hurt
all tangled up in nakedness
You talk religion but she won t convert, you talk religion but she won t convert
The kind of knot your heart gets in, shrapnel flying soldier hit the dirt Peyroux, you know how nights like this begin
she breaks the rules so you can see
visions of her drawing near
Your lip is cut on the edge of her pleated skirt, there s perfume burning in the air Madeleine, she s wilder than you ll ever be
