Parlours Gypsies & Sinners
[Verse 1]
Took most my chances
Went too far collecting branches
Built a fire ring around your tongue to burn the words right out
Now I sit here wishing
I could take back all my listening
Didn't need to know that nothing's going down, down
[Pre–Chorus]
Down, going down
Down, yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
Don't seem to understand why I feel the way I do now, baby
Can't seem to get this off your eye
You don't seem to recognize how hard it's been to do this lately
When all our love and think we're right
And it just leaves us taking sides
[Verse 2]
Said a smoke would lead us to the river
Where we can mate with gypsies and sinners
Let our bodies sink into the cold
But when the darkness falls upon the waves
We will set our sights on rocky graves
Where children turn, to lovers turn to fall
[Chorus]
Don't seem to understand why I feel the way I do now, baby
Can't seem to get this off your eye
You don't seem to recognize how hard it's been to do this lately
When all our love and think we're right
And it just leaves us taking sides
[Pre–Chorus]
Down, we're going down
Down, yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
Don't seem to understand why I feel the way I do now, baby
Can't seem to get this off your eye
You don't seem to recognize how hard it's been to do this lately
When all our love and think we're right
And it just leaves us taking, and it just leaves us taking
And it just leaves us taking taking sides
