Prison Girls

by PJ Harvey

Where am I tonight, la da da
My hotel room won't remember me
And this dream will die, die by morning
And this dream will not remember me
Awaken by a droning voice
I love your long shadows
And your gunpowder eyes
Is it a lady or is it a man?
Humming helicopters through
The blades of a fan
I love your long shadows
And your gunpowder eyes
I love your long shadows
And your gunpowder eyes
On my feet to chase it down
The light switch spooks and runs away
I stumble back and hit the floor
Long shadows crawl beneath the door
To a passage so poorly lit
There's moths flying away from it
Oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Who am I tonight, la da da
My hotel room won't remember me
Darkness entered prison girls
Pushing mops and kicking pails
Now's my chance
I clasp my chest and declare
Unto my audience
I love your long shadows
And your gunpowder eyes
I love your long shadows
And your gunpowder eyes
The prison girls are not impressed
There the ones who have to clean this mess
They've traded more for cigarettes
Than I've managed to express
Oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
??? (falling past?) miles long
My cheek is frozen to the floor
The prison girls have filled their beds
Their thoughts to dry above their heads
I love your long shadows
And your gunpowder eyes
I love your long shadows
And your gunpowder eyes
I love your long shadows
And your gunpowder eyes
I love your long shadows
And your gunpowder eyes
I love your long shadows
And your gunpowder eyes
I love your long shadows
And your gunpowder eyes
