Haywire Lyrics

Artist: Jayhawks
Album: Sound of Lies

Billy was a vampire
Carving out an empire
Strolling Piratesâ‚¬â„¢ Alley in the middle of the night

Buy a round of cocktails
Spinning sordid fables in the twilight
Thatâ‚¬â„¢s all right

Scattered words that matter
Itâ‚¬â„¢s a disaster in the making
Take the time to smell the leaves beneath the trees
( Smile, smile, smile)
Thatâ‚¬â„¢s all right

Chorus:
My whole life has gone haywire
Iâ‚¬â„¢m just a blade bending in your shade
For your love Iâ‚¬â„¢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
Thatâ‚¬â„¢s all right
Feel the touch of oil from the tankers upon the breeze
( Smile, smile, smile)
Yeah, thatâ‚¬â„¢s all right

(Chorus)

Thatâ‚¬â„¢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
Thatâ‚¬â„¢s all right

Wonâ‚¬â„¢t you smile, smile, smile. Thatâ‚¬â„¢s all right
Wonâ‚¬â„¢t you smile, smile, smile. Thatâ‚¬â„¢s all right

Wonâ‚¬â„¢t you smile the smile
That fills the room with an independent light
But thatâ‚¬â„¢s all right
(Repeat 4 times - Fade)
