Fishnets & Cigarettes

New York Dolls

Compositor: David Johansen / Sylvain Mizrahi

I was sittin there all alone
I was praying you would come home
I was listening to an old Blues song

(Muffled lines)

Getting a little impatient
Smoking like a mental patient
Happiness. Fishnets and Cigarettes
I'll be a monkey in a dress
Tell me who can I impress?***
I might be snared by love

Im gonna get a friend of mine ***
Who is treating me so unkind
But in my heart it is an old Blues song

Being full an ambigous
Mischevious and perfect
Happiness. Fishnets and Cigarettes
I'll be a monkey in a dress
Tell me who can I impress?***
I might be snared by love

Talk about slaying a snake ???
You got my heart bound up in shame
But in my soul its an old Blues song

It's like life can be so tragic
Until you see the magic
Happiness. Fishnets and Cigarettes
I'll be a monkey in a dress

I'm talking about happiness
Fishnets and Cigarettes
I'll be a monkey in a dress
Tell me who can I impress?***
I might be snared by love

Hey baby, Hey baby
