Haywire
Yeah, Billy was a vampire
Carving out an empire
Strolling Pirates' Alley in the middle of the night
Buy a round of cocktails
Spinning sordid fables in the twilight
That's all right
Scattered words that matter
It's a disaster in the making, hmm
Take the time to smell the leaves beneath the trees (smile, smile, smile)
That's all right
My whole life has gone haywire
I'm just a blade bending in your shade
For your love I'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
That's all right
Feel the touch of oil from the tankers upon the breeze (smile, smile, smile)
Yeah, that's all right
My whole life has gone haywire
I'm just a blade bending in your shade
For your love I'm a vampire
Strolling the ways of Esplanade
That'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
That's all right
Won't you smile, smile, smil? Hmm
That's all right
Won't you smile, smile, smile? Hmm
That's all right
Won't you smile the smile
That fills the room with an independent light?
But that's all right
Won't you smile the smile (for me honey)
That fills the room with an independent light?
But that's all right
Won't you smile the smile
That fills the room with an independent light?
But that's all right
Won't you smile the smile
That fills the room with an independent light?
But that's all right
Carving out an empire
Strolling Pirates' Alley in the middle of the night
Buy a round of cocktails
Spinning sordid fables in the twilight
That's all right
Scattered words that matter
It's a disaster in the making, hmm
Take the time to smell the leaves beneath the trees (smile, smile, smile)
That's all right
My whole life has gone haywire
I'm just a blade bending in your shade
For your love I'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

Won't you smile the smile (for me honey)
That fills the room with an independent light?
But that's all right
Won't you smile the smile
That fills the room with an independent light?
But that's all right
Won't you smile the smile
That fills the room with an independent light?
But that's all right
