Like Kim Novak by Songdog
Like Kim Novak lyrics
I�m drunk on altar wine and punch-drunk with regret,
There�s torchlight in the wood but they haven�t found
me yet,
�There�s room for one more soul in Hell,� said the
scarecrow in the Batman mask,
She was tugging at her hemline as she walked into the
bar
But she didn�t care how high it rode as she climbed
into my car,
�You look like Kim Novak,� I said. But by then she was
already dead �.
I picked up this lawyer�s wife, bought her moussaka and
a rose,
I said �I have a room where I could kneel and suck your
toes�.
Then I held a pillow to her face but with tears in my
eyes,
Dawn broke as I drove her out to Strawberry Valley,
And a low and frightened morning sun lay trembling in a
tree.
I took a long pull on my flask.There�s no forgiveness
so I won�t even ask �.
The lift wheezes as it climbs,the nurse is coming with
my dose,
He has a hitman's eyes, I don't let him get too close.
I'm watching a guy close by the hospital wall, beating
a punch-bag to a hip-hop tune .....
I asked the lady doctor to invite me round her place
So I could lick off that anti-ageing cream she rubs
into her face.
There�s a bird back at my window again, drinking from a
saucer of rain �.
