"Mrs. Mills" lyrics - EDDIE VEDDER

Mrs. Mills waits in the dark for the red light to go on
And the curtains will be drawn so none could see
All the townsfolk, they don't know what the men do down below
In the shadows of a disco neon glow

[Chorus:]
In the spotlight, she lifts her wings high
And sings like nobody before
Holds her own as their hands, they roam
O'er the ivory that is her flesh and bone
Oh, and every suitor gets their own song
To none of them she ever will belong
'Cause no one takes a Mrs. Mills home

Mrs. Mills waits down the stairs, crimson carpet leads you there
Leaving broken hearts, a trail of those who dared
Mr. Wonder, then Sir John, Miss Madonna played by Paul
Even royalty, they have to leave by dawn

[Chorus:]
As they play her, a sound like a prayer
She sings like nobody before
Oh, holds her own as the sound unfolds
O'er ivories, are hers and hers alone
Still, every suitor gets their own song
To none of them she will ever belong
'Cause no one takes a Mrs. Mills home
And no ones born to feel like they are owned

[Outro:]
Mrs. Mills, Mrs. Mills
Mrs. Mills, Mrs. Mills
Mrs. Mills, if I could find ya, I would never do you wrong
Mrs. Mills, could I oblige ya, would ya play me just one song?
Mrs. Mills, I am confiding, I have loved you all along
Mrs. Mills, Mrs. Mills, Mrs. Mills
Mrs. Mills, Mrs. Mills, Mrs. Mills
Oh, Mrs. Mills, Mrs. Mills
