Cooksferry Queen |
Well there’s a house |
In an alley |
In the squats and low-rise |
Of a town with no future |
But that’s where my future lies |
It’s a secret, but no secret |
It’s a rule, but no rule |
Where you find the darkest avenue |
There you’ll find the brightest jewel |
Now my name, it is Mulvaney |
And I’m known quite famously |
People speak my name in whispers |
What higher praise can there be? |
But I’d trade my fine mohair |
For tie dyes and faded jeans |
If she wanted me some other way |
She’s my Cooks-ferry queen |
She gave me one pill to get big |
She gave me one pill to get small |
I saw snakes dancing all around her feet |
And dead men comin through the walls |
Well I’m the prince of this parish |
I’ve been ruthless and I’ve been mean |
But she blew my mind and she opened my eyes |
She’s my Cooks-ferry queeen |
Ahhhhhh … |
Well she’s got every rare perfection |
All her looks beyond compare |
She’s got dresses that seem to float in the wind |
Pre-Raphelite curls in her hair |
She could get the lame to walking |
She could get the blind to see |
She could make wine out of Thames River water |
She could make a believer out of me Yes I’d trade it all tomorrow |
All the wicked things I’ve been |
She’s my bright jewel of the alley |
She’s my Cooks-ferry Queen |
Yes, I’d trade it all tomorrow |
All the wicked things I’ve been |
She’s my bright jewel of the alley |
She’s my Cooks-ferry Queen |
Ohhhhhh … |
