New York Dolls - Fishnets & Cigarettes lyrics
I was sittin' there all alone
 I was prayin' you would come home
 I was listenin' to an old blues song
 (Baby, I'm wounded
 Wounded and bleeding
 Won't you ease my pain?)
 You're gettin' a little impatient
 Smokin' like a mental patient
 Happiness
 Fishnets and cigarettes
 A pagan monkey in a dress
 Tell me who I impress?
 A mind ensnared by love
 (???)
 And it's treatin' me so unkind
 But in my heart it's an old blues song
 Playful and bitchin'
 Mischievious and earthy
 Happiness
 Fishnets and cigarettes
 A pagan monkey in a dressNew York Dolls - Fishnets & Cigarettes - http://motolyrics.com/new-york-dolls/fishnets-and-cigarettes-lyrics.html
 Tell me who I impress?
 A mind ensnared by love
 Talk about slayin' the snake
 You got my heart bound up in shame
 But in my soul it's an old blues song
 This life can be so tragic
 Until you see the magic
 Happiness
 Fishnets and cigarettes
 A pagan monkey in a dress
 I'm talking 'bout happiness
 Fishnets and cigarettes
 A pagan monkey in a dress
 Tell me who I impress?
 A mind ensnared by love
 (*mumbled lines*
 Hey baby
 Hey baby
 Don't let me cry in vain)
 *NOTE: a lot of the words here are either mumbled or so thickly
 buried in Johansen's accent i can't make them out. if you can, PLEASE edit this song!
