brass buttons, green silks and silver shoes warm evenings, pale mornings, bottle of blues and the tiny golden pins that she wore up in her hair brass buttons, green silks and silver shoes my mind was young until she grew my secret thoughts known only by the few it was a dream much to real to be leaned against too long all the time I think she knew her words still dance inside my head her comb still lies beside my bed and the sun comes up without her it just doesn't know she's gone ooh, but I remember everything she said brass buttons, green silks and silver shoes warm evenings, pale mornings, bottle of blues and the tiny golden pins that she wore up in her hair brass buttons, green silks and silver shoes
Well nighttime let her through Yeah I'm talking to you I wanna see her Precious little thing
With eyes that dance around without their clothes So buy a pretty dress Wear it out tonight For anyone you think could out do me
Or better still be my winding wheel Cause I feel just like a map Without a single place to go of interest And I'm further North than South
If I could shut my mouth shed probably like this So buy a pretty dress And wear it out tonight For all the boys you think could out do me Or better still be my winding wheel
Be my winding wheel Well the children laugh and sing a song that ushers in her driving rain
And I'm standing in the station like some old record waiting on a train So buy a pretty dress Wear it out tonight For anyone you think could out do me Or better still be my winding wheel
Pretty little hairdo don't do what it used to Can't disguise the living All the miles that you've been through
Looking like a train wreck Wearing too much makeup The burden that you carry Is more than one soul could ever bear
Don't look so sad, Marina There's another part to play Don't look so sad, Marina Save it for a rainy day Save it for a rainy day Save it for a rainy day
You neve make your mind up Like driving with your eyes shut Rough around the edges Won't someone come and take you home
Waiting for a breakthrough What will you set your mind to? We stood outside the Chinese restaurant in the rain
Don't look so sad, Marina There's another part to play Don't look so sad, Marina Save it for a rainy day Save it for a rainy day Save it for a rainy day
It's a lazy day I'm down with nothing else to do It's a crazy day I got a thing that I want to try with you Now baby don't you go away please don't spoil my lazy day Isn't it better didn't you know Just sitting down here by my radio I'm gonna make you worry none about your income tax No there's no need to worry I'll teach you how to relax It's a lazy day I'm down with nothing else to do It's a crazy day I got a thing that I want to try with you Now baby don't you go away please don't spoil my lazy day
No you don't have to think about nothing to do When I get you down to my barbacue I'm gonna make you feel funny And sparkel like a brand new dime No I don't have any money But I always got plenty of time It's a lazy day I'm down with nothing else to do It's a crazy day I got a thing that I want to try with you Now baby don't you go away please don't spoil my lazy day
I was thinking back To the first time we met Over plangent chords In a sad vignette You were waving goodbye In a cherry red corvette And your lips were too Cherry red that is, with the sky so blue It was almost mean and your eyes were too So blue that is, now I am too And my heart burns cherry red for you
Now my heart burns cherry red for you Like a fire of beech wood, the saw don't like it But you get some cut, one match will strike it And the embers glow till the wee small hours When the old seems almost new That's when my heart burns cherry red for you
It was cherry red with custom flames At the hot rod show when the Kingsmen came And that bass guitar, it rattled my frame And it shook you too The corvette was Big Daddy Roth's design Get your picture for a dollar And have it signed First you got yours then I got mine And my heart burned cherry red for you
Now my heart burns cherry red for you Like a fire of beech wood, the saw don't like it But you get some cut, one match will strike it And the embers glow till the wee small hours When the old seems almost new That's when my heart burns cherry red for you
That's when my heart Burns cherry red My heart burns cherry red That's when my heart burns Cherry red for you
Now that fake blue sky, It sure looks real Like you were goin' To California to make a deal With the God of youth, With the man of steel Waving toodle-oo
Now if I was young, I might track you down But this old picture is all I found Now my bones are shakin', My teeth are ground down And my heart burns cherry red for you
Now my heart burns cherry red for you Like a fire of beech wood, the sun don't like it But you get some cut, one match will strike it And the embers glow till the wee small hours When the old seems almost new That's when my heart burns cherry red That's when my heart burns cherry red That's when my heart burns cherry red for you
