I was like a ghost, I let myself flow
Between the bar and the Host
I listened:
She used to dance on ice now she strips on poles
Sat in a corner just behind the scene
Her Naked body it was like a dream
I wanted to reach out for her and take her far away
Tell her stupid stories about she-wolves and mermaids
She looked so fragile
And she put on her smile and she waved
Mallory, Mallory, Mallory don't lose your soul
Mallory, Mallory, Mallory don't lose your soul
Mallory, Mallory, Mallory don't lose your soul
Mallory, Mallory, Mallory don't lose your soul
(Mallory, Mallory, Mallory don't lose your soul)
I'm a sycamore tree,
(Mallory, Mallory, Mallory don't lose your soul)
And if you lay under my leaves,
(Mallory, Mallory, Mallory don't lose your soul)
(Mallory, Mallory, Mallory don't lose your soul)
They will heal you
'Love me tender' she whispered in my ear
Was already tipsy of all the wine from earlier
I smiled at her showing my stained lips and teeth
I must've looked funny cause she, she started laughing
She came close to me smelling the cigarettes and the gin
'Love me tender', she whispered in my ear
'Love me tender' she whispered in my ear
Was already dreamy might been the coke from earlier
I smiled at her showing my stained nostrils
Must've looked funny she started laughing
She came close to me smelling the cigarettes and the gin
'Love me tender', she whispered in my ear
She came close to me smelling the cigarettes and the gin
'Love me tender', she whispered in my ear
(Mallory, Mallory, Mallory don't lose your soul)
I'm a sycamore tree
(Mallory, Mallory, Mallory don't lose your soul)
And if you lay under my leaves
(Mallory, Mallory, Mallory don't lose your soul)
(Mallory, Mallory, Mallory don't lose your soul)
They will heal you
(Mallory, Mallory, Mallory don't lose your soul)
You're the Pretty Bird Lady
(Mallory, Mallory, Mallory don't lose your soul)
But if you stay under their lead
(Mallory, Mallory, Mallory don't lose your soul)
(Mallory, Mallory, Mallory don't lose your soul)
They will kill you
'Love me tender', she whispered in my ear
Was already dreamy might been the coke from earlier
I smiled at her showing my stained nostrils
Must've looked funny she started laughing
She came close to me smelling the cigarettes and the gin
'Love me tender', she whispered in my ear
She came close to me smelling the cigarettes and the gin
'Love me tender', 'Love me tender'
Mallory, Mallory, Mallory don't lose your soul
Mallory, Mallory, Mallory don't lose your soul
Mallory, Mallory, Mallory don't lose your soul
Mallory, Mallory, Mallory
(Mallory, Mallory, Mallory don't lose your soul)
You're the Pretty Bird Lady,
(Mallory, Mallory, Mallory don't lose your soul)
If you want to stay under my leaves,
(Mallory, Mallory, Mallory don't lose your soul)
(Mallory, Mallory, Mallory)
I can keep you
