El Guero (Shimmer Version)

You only shimmer now
I only wonder how
All night, all night, all night long

Old house still stands out back
Rooms full of blood on the tracks
All night, all night, all night long

Flower heavy, all wet with dew
You always made it through
All night, all night, all night long

Faded letters still show your name
Mailbox still tilts the same
All night, all night, all night long

Honeysuckle along the street
They say you never missed a beat
Records piled against the wall
Old bass and a wrecking ball

Was your mamma’s neighborhood
She did the best she could
All night, all night, all night long

Snakeskin nailed by your door
Don’t come around here any more
All night, all night, all night long

Shady grove and tattoo sleeves
Pink bird in a pile of leaves
All night, all night, all night long

Honeysuckle along the street
They say you never missed a beat
Records piled against the wall
Old bass and a wrecking ball
