lyrics

She hugged me, smiled and left
Saying that the next stop is closer to my place
Times have changed, said the nightshift driver
In my days, I would've made it to her door, at least
I know, I'm fucked pretty and it feels like a cheap script
Oh girl, the girl is taken, I said

Wiseman, Jazzman, this is called the Slingshot Blues
She got me in the eye and I keep
The pebbles in my shoes
The girl is taken, I said

His silence says it all, I'd be better off running
But it’s hard to run with a painful passion
He wishes me a goodnight and leaves me in the desert of the Montreal cold
I'm a little high and here I am texting her, what just happened, and I know
I know I'm fucked pretty and it feels like a cheap script
Oh girl, the girl is taken, I said

Wiseman, Jazzman, this is called the Slingshot Blues
She got me in the eye and I keep
The pebbles in my shoes
The girl is taken I said

I made it home alive, after a twenty-minute walk of Beatles songs, shouting
And made sure to wake the neighbourhood up and I'm smiling
‘Cause I'll get to see her face tomorrow and I know
I know I'm fucked pretty
and it feels like a cheap script
Oh girl, the girl is taken, I said

Wiseman, Jazzman, this is called the Slingshot Blues
She got me in the eye and I keep
The pebbles in my shoes
Wiseman, Jazzman, this is called the Slingshot Blues
She got me in the eye and I keep
The pebbles in my shoes
