Lizzy Come Back to Life

[Intro]

About my baby

[Verse 1]

I wrote a new song

It sounds like one of your songs

It doesn't really matter

I could write a hundred new ones

But I could never make them sound the way that you do

Everyone dies, it ain't nothing new

On a gloomy afternoon

Lizzy, come back to life (About my baby)

[Verse 2]

Topless in your headdress

Laying by the pool

Cigarette perched on your upper lip

Lizzy, how'd you get so cool?

Out on the porch

Drinking beer, skipping school

Listenin' to Mambo Nassau

On a gloomy afternoon

Lizzy, come back to life (About my baby)

[Bridge]

I wanna go back to New York

And hang out with Patti Smith

And Richard Hell

I wanna dig the African rhythms

I wanna be there when you write

"Where Are the Gazelles?"

[Verse 3]

One 'cause you're beautiful

One for your soul

One for the memories

And the melodies I stole

From here on out everything's ruined

I can't listen to anything new

It all sounds dull comin' after you

Lizzy, come back to life (About my baby)

[Outro]

Come back to life (About my baby)

Come back to life (About my baby)

Come back to life (About my baby)

Come back to life (About my baby)
