She Looked Like Me! lyrics

Hello Down the line, over the waves Two kids and a military Turn their tongue, change their name La love, born to marry Crossed their hearts, crossing the earth One year, then a baby's carried Grows up young, screams at graves Bang-bang and it's customary Ordinary Hang the war over the hearth Five more in a house of many Argentine fabergé La love, born unsteady Kids hears ghosts singing his name Likes guns and he's pistol-ready That's his curse, that's my name He sings up to the Moon unchaining I didn't know her when she walked in But I recognized her eyes Her hair lifted as she stood still Right there, in the light And she felt like a dream I didn't know what to think She looked like me We stood mirrored till I leaned in And then you know what she did She shot at me like an earthbound bullet And then she wrapped her hands Around my neck and I felt love Just ordinary love Let me hold you in my arms Oh, love, that old familiar drug Bang-bang and it's customary America stole my fate La love, and a baby carriage Turned my tongue, changed my name Bang bang born unsteady Crossed my hearts crossing the earth La love and a stone to carry That's my curse, that's my name Bang-bang and it's customary Ordinary
