"Beauty Of Your Smile" lyrics - ALEJANDRO ESCOVEDO

ALEJANDRO ESCOVEDO
"Beauty Of Your Smile"
(Peter Buck / Alejandro Escovedo / Scott McCaughey)

Rico's on the corner
Wearing a skirt made of cellophane
Olener's in the alley
Washing the blood out of his shirt
The candyman and the starman
Are taking tips from the shaman
Who's working under the webcam
All angles and long shots

[Chorus:]
No one can take the beauty of your smile
No one can break the beauty of your smile

Billy nightshade owns the corner of Eddy and Jones
Bambi lives in a room made of clothes
Paris model selling memories at a yard sale
Hit it hard hit it hard
Don't worry about me slowburn

[Chorus:]
No one can take the beauty of your smile
No one can break the beauty of your smile
C'mon
No one can break the beauty of your smile
No one can take the beauty of your smile

Methodone is a lonely home
When you're nodding out
In the lobby of the Taylor hotel
The ghosts of the doorman
Still smell like piss and howl for no reason
At the ghosts of long shoremen
Cloud cover passing in the shape of a gun
There's no safe way home when you're on the run
I told her not to go
I told her not to go
There's no safe way home
When you are made of light

[Outro:]
No one can take the beauty of your smile
No one can break the beauty of your smile
No one can take the beauty of your smile
No one can break the beauty of your smile
