Soda Water
Camel coat
Auburn hair
Idle taxi
Leicester Square
Like a lion in black
Sends up the windows and leans on back
Honey's dripping from the trees
Order me a soda water
Rifles swinging at my knees
Order me a soda water
Said my castle in Nice
Sits on a cove, on a beach
Where a girl can move slow
In a pace she wants to know
So I showed him my cards
He was stunned by the scars
And he said that ain't right
C'mon now baby I'll hold you . . .
Honey's dripping from the trees
Order me a soda water
Rifles swinging at my knees
Order me a soda water
A tall
A tall
Now the way it all goes
Happens quick
We all know
But this room late at night
Is where I'm keeping my candle bright
And I weave up these lines
Green and thick-rutted vines
Out the window they all grow
And oil slick in the grass below
Where I run, not a care
Oiled leaves in my hair
'til I tense like a wren
And worry back on his kisses again
(Chorus)
