[Verse]
Em D
Now Lily White, she was walkin' and talkin' as usual, out on the floor
Em D
While Ruby was deep into her pantomime
Em D
Me, I just stood starin' at my reflection in my glass of bourbon over by the door.
Em D
Still couldn't find those friends of mine.
Bm F
But Ruby turned and pirouetted
Bm Bm A G
Like a ghost dancer on the marble stairs
D A7sus4
And I felt myself set free in a city without weather
A7sus4 D
My own dream of Baudelaire
A7sus4 D A7sus4 D
Em D
Now Lily White, she leans so close to you and whispers.
Em D
And you will see diamonds fallin' all around her mouth.
Em D
Ah, but Ruby moves her lemon scented body
A7sus4 D
Just like the breezes from the south.
Bm F
So somehow, I got tangled
Bm Bm A G
Oh, tangled in her long red hair.
D A7sus4
And I woke up to the taste of danger
A7sus4 D
Feelin' such a lot like Baudelaire
Em D Em D Em D A7sus4 D
Bm F Bm Bm A G D A7sus4 A7sus4 D
Em D
Here comes the Knight to fill my glass just one more time
Em D
Well all the lovely ladies, they get up and they ajourn to the show
Em D
My head is so anointed with the blood and the wine
A7sus4 D
That i almost seem to know.
Em D
Of all the secrets down on the holy street
Em D
Where the vagrants, they come down and go
Em D
And of the secrets in the eyes of cats, and other vagrant lovers
A7sus4 D
Where the cruel waters flow.
Bm F
But Ruby seemed to know the secrets as old as the ages
Bm Bm A G
Oh the blood and wine flowin' in the fountains of the city square.
D A7sus4
And I crawled to her to be drowned and driven
A7sus4 D
Feelin' such a lot like Baudelaire
A7sus4 D
With the vanity of Baudelaire
A7sus4 D
Aw, feelin' such a lot like Baudelaire
A7sus4 D
