Veronica Lake
New Bomb Turks * Track #5 On At Rope’s End
Veronica Lake Lyrics
You know she stays right out of reach
Keeps the position, plays the game
I'd like to think
I'll quit playing
But the dice roll on
And if the snake eyes shine
I'll chase down the alley's dark
All over again
The bent angels bend my neck
And eventually my mind
My time is short, why do I spend so much time
Searching for...
So I take mistakes in stride
I make the stakes go high
Watch this shrinking heart
Break and mend again
And I bet if I could bet it all
I probably would
Watch the money go
'Til I'm down again
The bent angels bend my neck
And eventually my mind
My time is short, why do I spend so much time
Searching for Veronica Lake
The bent angels bend my neck
And eventually my mind
My time is short, why do I spend so much time
Searching for Veronica Lake
Where are the mystery girls
Who start a riot with their smiles
Make you go a mile
For another fight
But the dice roll on
And if the snake eyes shine
I'll chase down the alley's dark
All over again
The bent angels bend my neck
And eventually my mind
My time is short, why do I spend so much time
Searching for Veronica Lake
