Jaguar Love


Oh Townes Van Zandt haunts your headphones the streetlights sway 
You left your pregnant girlfriend in a train station in Spain. 
Parades burst from your brain, plaid haired girls call your name 
Fireflies weave resorts, built of light on perfect shores, 
Knife thrust, lust, angel dust, purple sky's before dusk 
In the back of a pick up truck, racing from your shitty luck, 

Black water in a crystal skull 
Drink deep and hallucinate an ancient ocean 
Black water pouring out your mouth 
Time travel to worlds composed of ice fields and sound 

Oh Townes Van Zandt haunts your headphones the street lights groan 
That piece of shit left you at a train station all alone,, 
You steal somebody's purse, ravens rip through your skirt, 
Babies in TV screens chase you out into the street, 
Madrid's finest hotel, whisky and painkillers. 
If stolen master cards could pay off all this shitty luck 

Black water in a crystal skull 
Drink deep and hallucinate an ancient ocean 
Black water pouring out your mouth 
Time travel to worlds composed of ice fields and sound 
When all your friends would call her they'd say it's for the best 
You can't force a man to love you. He'd be a shitty dad. 

They started the trip in the city of Cannes 
They drank in streets under Cubist mansions 
And when she told him that she was knocked up you should have seen his face 
And when she told him that she was knocked up you should have seen his face 

Black water in a crystal skull 
Black water filling up your lungs 
Black water in the south of France 
Black water changing all your plans yeah
