New York Dolls - Fishnets & Cigarettes lyrics

I was sittin' there all alone I was prayin' you would come home I was listenin' to an old blues song You see, I'm wounded, wounded and bleeding Won't you ease my pain? You're gettin' a little impatient Smokin' like a mental patient Happiness, fishnets and cigarettes A pagan monkey in a dress Tell me who can arrest A mind ensnared by love? A rogue elephant for a mind And it's treatin' me so unkind But in my heart it's an old blues song Playful and b**hin', mischievous and earthy Happiness, fishnets and cigarettes A pagan monkey in a dress Tell me who can arrest A mind ensnared by love? Talk about slayin' a snake You got my heart bound up in shame But in my soul it's an old blues song This life can be so tragic Until you see the magic Happiness, fishnets and cigarettes A pagan monkey in a dress I'm talking 'bout Happiness, fishnets and cigarettes A pagan monkey in a dress Tell me who can arrest A mind ensnared by love? Howdy baby, hey baby Please stay with me, I pray Hey baby, hey baby Don't let me cry in vain
