Paper Hat Songtext
von Mark Lanegan Band

From Idle Wild to Las Vegas
Walk in the desert
Wearing this paper hat
Stop for a minute
In wonderland alley
I′ll be Alice
You be the cheshire cat

They're singin′
Let it ride all night
I'm goin' down
So far down
They′re singin′
Let it ride all night
I'm goin′ down,
And I'll stay down

How you gonna throw my love away?
When it′s the last one I'll ever know
Girl, don′t you throw my love away
It feels like the last winning hand I'll ever hold


Theatre of the grotesque
I can't stop blame
And I′m still losing
After all this time
Fly me direct to Bermuda
Or connect in Miami
Take me somewhere
To fix my worried mind

They′re singin'
Let it rain, bring the pain
I′m goin' down
So far down
They′re singin'
Let it rain, bring the pain
I′m goin' down
And I'll stay down

How you gonna throw my love away?
When it′s the last one I′ll ever know
Don't you throw my love away
It feels like the last winnin′ hand I'll ever hold


Through twenty nine
Arms to Las Vegas
Walk in the desert
Wearin′ this paper hat
Theatre of the absurd
I can't stop laughin′
You be Jesus
I'll be a siamese cat

They're singin′
Let it ride all night
I′m goin' down
So far down
They′re singin'
Let it ride all night
I′m goin' down,
And I′ll stay down

How you gonna throw my love away?
When it's the last one I'll ever know
Girl, don′t you throw my love away
It feels like the last winning hand I′ll ever hold

How you gonna throw my love away?
When it's the last one I′ll ever know
