| [00:18.02] |
She hides in an attic concealed on a shelf |
| [00:26.50] |
Behind volumes of literature based on herself |
| [00:35.20] |
And runs across the pages like some tiny elf |
| [00:40.00] |
Knowing that it's hard to find |
| [00:44.16] |
Stuff way back in her mind, |
| [00:48.56] |
Winds up spending all of her time |
| [00:52.84] |
Trying to memorize every line |
| [00:56.79] |
Sweet Lorraine, |
| [01:00.22] |
Ah, sweet Lorraine. |
| [01:05.65] |
Sweet lady of death wants me to die |
| [01:14.29] |
So she can come sit by my bedside and sigh |
| [01:23.01] |
And wipe away the tears from all my friends eyes |
| [01:28.16] |
Then softly she will explain |
| [01:31.39] |
Just exactly who was to blame |
| [01:36.15] |
For causing me to go insane |
| [01:40.56] |
And finally blow out my brain, |
| [01:44.24] |
Sweet Lorraine, |
| [01:47.40] |
Ah, sweet Lorraine. |
| [01:52.98] |
Well you know that it's a shame and a pity |
| [01:57.15] |
You were raised up in the city |
| [02:01.27] |
And you never learned nothing 'bout country ways, |
| [02:08.56] |
Ah, 'bout country ways. |
| [02:14.63] |
The joy of life she dresses in black |
| [02:23.04] |
With celestial secrets engraved in her back |
| [02:31.63] |
And her face keeps flashing that she's got the knack, |
| [02:36.06] |
But you know when you look into her eyes |
| [02:40.86] |
All she's learned she's had to memorize |
| [02:44.79] |
And the only way you'll ever get her high |
| [02:49.14] |
Is to let her do her thing and then watch you die, |
| [02:52.98] |
Sweet Lorraine, |
| [02:56.37] |
Ah, sweet Lorraine. |
| [03:02.21] |
Now she's the one who gives us all those magical things |
| [03:11.19] |
And reads us stories out of the I Ching, |
| [03:19.49] |
Then she passes out a whole new basket of rings |
| [03:25.10] |
That when you put on your hand |
| [03:28.20] |
Makes you one of the Angel Band |
| [03:33.20] |
And gives you the power to be a man, |
| [03:37.58] |
But what it does for her you never quite understand |
| [03:41.27] |
Sweet Lorraine, |
| [03:44.63] |
Ah, sweet Lorraine. |
| [03:50.16] |
Well you know that it's a shame and a pity |
| [03:54.22] |
You were raised up in the city |
| [03:58.36] |
And you never learned nothing 'bout country ways, |
| [04:05.36] |
Oh 'bout country ways, oh 'bout country ways, |
| [04:13.84] |
Yeah, about country ways |
