Mabeline

Without you in the house
There’s a planet on my head
I meant to go to sleep
But I stayed up til 4am
Nothing is that comfortable
When comfort is the norm
Nothing is so beautiful
As the calm before the storm
I was empty of a feeling
Not a mama could love me
If I was a shooting star
I was just ash and gas debris
A voodoo doll with so many pins
There was nothing left to stick
And out of that abyss
There came a real light, so thin
Mabeline, oh Mabeline
For you, I would do anything
Mabeline, oh Mabeline
They say you got the drop on me
But honey, I don’t think it’s true
We were doing cocaine
No one was supposed to know
She told me she would cover me
And keep it all on the downlow
The cops got there and I don’t care
What anybody says
Mabeline, the New York queen
Would kill a man for less
They took us both outta the house
And put me in an unmarked car
But no one there would tell me
Just where the hell you were
I did three months in a local
I turned a couple names
Got out on good bahavior
But I think she got framed
Mabeline, oh Mabeline
For you, I would do anything
Mabeline, oh Mabeline
They say you got the drop on me
And honey, I don’t think it’s true
So call me, call me back
I don’t care what time it is
And if you don’t call me back
You can look for me at the bottom of a riverbed
Yeah, Mabeline, oh Mabeline
For you, I would do anything
Mabeline, oh Mabeline
They say you got the drop on me
And honey, I don’t think it’s true
Yeah, Mabeline, oh Mabeline
For you, I would do anything
Mabeline, oh Mabeline
They say you got the drop on me
And honey, I don’t think it’s true
Oh, Mabeline
(Mabeline, Mabeline, oh Mabeline
Mabeline, Mabeline, oh Mabeline
Mabeline, Mabeline, oh Mabeline
Mabeline, Mabeline, oh Mabeline
Mabeline, Mabeline, oh Mabeline
Mabeline, Mabeline, oh Mabeline
Mabeline, Mabeline, oh Mabeline
Mabeline, Mabeline, oh Mabeline
Mabeline, Mabeline, oh Mabeline
Mabeline, Mabeline, oh Mabeline
Mabeline, Mabeline, oh Mabeline
Mabeline, Mabeline, oh Mabeline
Mabeline, Mabeline, oh Mabeline
Mabeline, Mabeline, oh Mabeline
