Haywire

Billy was a vampire

Carving out an empire

Strolling pirates' alley in the middle of the night



Buy a round of cocktails

Spinning sordid fables in the twilight

That's all right



Scattered words that matter

It's a disaster in the making

Take the time to smell the leaves beneath the trees

( smile, smile, smile)

That's all right



Chorus:

My whole life has gone haywire

I'm just a blade bending in your shade

For your love i'm a vampire

Strolling the ways of esplanade



I headed up to pittsburgh

Heard you could get a pretty god sandwich

For fifteen and a dime

Ooh, what i miss that old stretch of road

Down to the bayou

In the middle of the night



Guilt by association

The mere smell of speculation conjures up for hell

That's all right

Feel the touch of oil from the tankers upon the breeze

( smile, smile, smile)

Yeah, that's all right



(chorus)



That's my whole life in a nutshell

Take it as you will

I can hear that old brass band

Playing our song down the hill

That's all right



Won't you smile, smile, smile. that's all right

Won't you smile, smile, smile. that's all right



Won't you smile the smile

That fills the room with an independent light

But that's all right

(repeat 4 times - fade)
