Mark Lanegan Band - Paper Hat Lyrics

Mark Lanegan Band Lyrics

"Paper Hat"

From Idyllwild to Las Vegas
Walking the desert wearing this paper hat
Stop for a minute in Wonderland Alley
I'll be Alice, you be the Cheshire Cat

They're singing, "Let it ride all night"
I'm going down, so far down
They're singing, "Let it ride all night"
I'm going 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

Theater of the grotesque
I can't stop playing 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 singing, "Let it rain, bring the pain"
I'm going down, so far down
They're singing, "Let it rain, bring the pain"
I'm going 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 winning hand I'll ever hold

From Twentynine Palms to Las Vegas
Walking the desert, wearing this paper hat
Theater of the absurd, I can't stop laughing
You be Jesus, I'll be a Siamese cat

They're singing, "Let it ride all night"
I'm going down, so far down
They're singing, "Let it ride all night"
I'm going 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?
