The Jayhawks

Pretty Thing

The Jayhawks


Taking pictures of the boys 
Passed out in your bed 
True collector till the end 

You burned your bridges well 
With games of kiss and tell 
Left me twisting in the wind 

You occupy your days 
Walking through a maze 
Convincing everyone you've got a lot to say 

You're such a pretty thing ... 
I taught you everything you know 

When you first came to town 
Buying drinks until you drowned 
So many wasted nights 

The blood lay an your hands 
Trying to make amends 
But you're spilling on your dress 

The gypsy's on the move 
But the caravan remains 
New backdrop but same old play 

You're such a pretty thing... 
I taught you everything you know
