The Pierces - Turn On Billie Lyrics
When I woke up this afternoonI knew I felt uneasy.But no matter what I'd donothing seemed to please me.I couldn't get out of my headthat little fight we had last night.Though I would much rather be deadthan admit to myselfthat you were right.Oh, oh, oh, oh[chorus]Don't be silly,turn on Billie.She's singing us to sleepso we can dream our lives away.And if we wake up in full makeup,we'll paint the town blue'cause baby, red is so passe.Now don't look at me that way.You know I just can't take it.And no matter what they sayI know that we will make it.Cause when we are good, we're grandbut when we're bad we are very bad.But I stick around 'cause the lovethat you're giving me is the bestI've ever had.Oh, oh, oh, oh[repeat chorus]And it's funny to me,the way that things have worked out.There's no doubt (in my mind)that you can't recallwhat this all was about.So let's give it up.Love me sweetly and completelyCome and sit beside me'cause you know I need you near.When you're wheelin'with that feelin'we'll paint the town pink'cause baby, red is so last year.[repeat chorus][scatting until the end of the song]
