Give My Heart Back MacGuire - Jon Fratelli

These pale blue lights cover me so close that I can see

They’re a mirror, oh nothing’s how it seems

I walk slow down through the crowds in their fake leather shrouds

To the corner lost in paper dreams

I could have sworn I saw you by the door with a painter

She said she’s not there you never cared for her did you?

I fell from the stage with a thunder, tricked by desire

You’ve got the rest of me

Give me my heart back MacGuire

Those cold red eyes that you see me through

Won’t tell you whether I’m lying, but maybe that’s just as well

Cause if this is all your living for baby you’re on step from dying

And only time will tell

Begging me please you played that old tease, like an artist

I sold the clothes on my back just to keep you in rags

Now that you’re perfectly sweet like a sadist, oh you’re stranger than fire

You got my innocence

Give me my heart back MacGuire

The city’s in bloom I’m lost in this room by the window

Neon sign lullabies float in the blue evening haze

You hid me away like a shadow, only yours to acquire

You’ve seen your best days now

Give me my heart back MacGuire

They don’t need you no more

Give me my heart back MacGuire

You’ve got the rest of me

Give me my heart back MacGuire
