For the harvest moon she wakes her eyes
Smokes a pin and puts the devil on her mind
Yeah she moves slowly like a gypsy train because she’s never gonna get away again
When she was livin’ as a bitter child
They cooked her soul on an island mile
St. Vincent women always singin’ in her ear
You know you’re never gonna get away again
Concrete mile you see it in her eyes
Saffron skin from those Moroccan skies
Yeah my little lover does the midnight twist because she never ever gonna ever gonna get away from this
Still she prays
Never getting saved at the side of the road
Yeah my little lover does the midnight twist because she’s never gonna get away again
Well the city swells her weeks at a time
Burning coal from the engine line
Yeah she cries out in the middle of the night because she’s never gonna get away again
Get your island arms and live it again
You got your face on your belly and your belly is full of sin
If you ever see another with an X on her skin
You know you’re never gonna get away again
Would you spit to save me chew my line
Round about cure me with a liar’s eye
Standing on the nine with fists full of rain because you’re never ever gonna ever gonna get away from this
Still you pray
Never getting saved at the side of the road
Yeah my little lover does the midnight twist because she’s never gonna get away again
Last train calling you motion disease
Your head’s getting heavy because you’re so very hard to please
Well please Mr. National, give us some wine
Yeah we’re falling further ‘cause
We’re ever falling further into line
Well some day you’ll find us living in a garden home
Wait for day and pray for night
Never getting saved at the side of the road
Yeah my little lover does the midnight twist because we’re never gonna get away again
