lyrics

My patron saint's an urban spook
Tobacco-coloured eyes
She eats my time
My patron saint takes smoking breaks in flooded gutters
Sleeps on roofs
My patron saint knows secret routes

Well somebody sighs
When they see her passing by
In worn-in boots
Her wornout streetlamp eyes
Her incense cloud is on my mind
The busking hymns of longdead boyfriends sweep her off her feet
And should she go
And should I be so lucky as to know

Well somebody calls you
You answer at all and you lose
Wait till you hear the prayers they've written just for you
