Tom Verlaine - Shimmer (version 2) lyrics

You have always been so kind to me Mere gratitude is not enough But if there's anything that I can do or say To take that pressure off You know I'll do it Or at least I'll try I'm used to living off-the-cuff Shimmer! It's a way of life When no other life is true Shimmer! That's the only word When no other word will do Shimmer! Nice new features on your automobile Maybe I could get a lift uptown? That's some crazy hat that you've got on today You really put my feet back on the ground You know talking ain't my speciality Forgive me if I'm just going round Shimmer! It's a way of life When no other life is true Shimmer! That's the only word When no other word will do Shimmer! It's a way of life When no other life is true Shimmer! That's the only word When no other word will do You know you have my affections And my deepest respect I'm sorry honey if sometimes I just show Too much neglect Shimmer! Shimmer! It's a way of life When no other life is true Shimmer! That's the only word When no other word will do
