I packed my valise
all the way to the top
with one million dollars
handmade hand cut
it's vegas, then paris, then venice, italy
i'm going now love, won't you come with me
ooo lee, ooo lie
ooo lee, i'm taking my time
ooo lee, ooe lie
ooo lee, living this life a lie
the bathtub in the backyard
is my oceanliner
the static tv
is a tinfoil sea
and salvaged china makes junkyard tea
a shipwrecked girl is a sight to see
chorus
I pawnshopped your letters
and rolled them cigarettes
and wild or tame
I will be well kept
I waited the summer, I waited in vain
and if it's not in love, then it's in its name
chorus
