Blue yster Cult — The Revenge of Vera Gemini

[Intro: Patti Smith] You're boned like a saint With the consciousness of a snake [Verse 1: Albert Bouchard & Patti Smith] You're the kind of girl–kind of girl I'd like to find Face like an angel–in my mirror But you're boned like the devil Your eyes have shifted from me–have shift Everyone saw what you did–your eyes You have slipped from beneath me–from me Like a false and nervous squid [Chorus: Albert Bouchard & Patti Smith] Oh, no more horses, horses We're going to swim like a fish–we're gonna swim like a fish Into the hole in which you planned to ditch me My lovely, Vera Marie! [Verse 2: Albert Bouchard & Patti Smith] I was soaring Planned to leave me cold–a sound But you'll never get your wish–feeling appeal On the twenty-fourth of May–birthday I gather up your reins You filled me with a vengeance–filled me And you touched me with your breath–vengeance I'm gonna pull you from this dance–this dance You're gonna ride so easily [Chorus: Albert Bouchard & Patti Smith] Oh, no more horses, horses We're going to swim like a fish–we're gonna swim like a fish Into the hole in which you planned to ditch me My lovely, Vera Marie! [Bridge: Albert Bouchard & Patti Smith] Hey! Come on, Vera! Each night I dance [Chorus: Albert Bouchard & Patti Smith] Oh, no more horses, horses We're going to swim like a fish–we're gonna swim like a fish Into the hole in which you planned to ditch me My lovely, Vera Marie! [Verse 3: Albert Bouchard & Patti Smith] I was your victim–victim I was well-deceived–deceived Hell's built on regret–regret But I love your naked neck And evil lies that you told me–your lies Made me believe you're two-faced–it's true But there's two faces have you And they're both gonna go [Chorus: Albert Bouchard & Patti Smith] Oh, no more horses, horses We're going to swim like a fish–gonna swim like a fish Into the hole in which you planned to ditch me–ditch me My lovely, Vera Gemini!
