Bagdad

from Sants-Montjuïc by Sunny Girls

lyrics

Glitter on her skin, wasted from the gin, she'll be out there
Dancing for the cash, sinning for the rush, striking long eye-
Lashes will she wear, flowers on her hair, sex is in the
Air and all around, run all over town, she's been going

To Apolo
To search for a man
To search in the bathrooms
For as long as she can
Oh god of sun
Make her crawl in the field
Take her to the bathrooms
For as long as she will
She bought some Lucky Strikes
And then a pregnancy test
Carries herself to the bathrooms
For as long as she’s a guest
Oh man it's family time
Find a job and settle down
She spends the night in the bathrooms
For as long as she’s in town

And in Bagdad she cries
In Bagdad she dies
In Bagdad she dances to pay for her bills
But all she wants, all she needs is to get
Lost in your eyes

Glitter on her skin
God she looks so thin
See right through her eyes
Worries in disguise
Glitter on her skin
Wonder where she’s been
Brown-haired paradise
Blonded butterflies

Tonight, she’ll wear glitter on her skin
Tonight, she’ll forget how it feels to win
Tonight, she’ll be dancing 'round the pole
Tonight, she will dig a deeper hole
Tonight, Bagdad’s lacking all its glimmer
Tonight, she’ll be shining with a shimmer
Tonight, timber timber timber timber timber timber
Tonight, she cries, I shiver

And in Bagdad she cries
In Bagdad she dies
In Bagdad she dances to pay for her bills
It’s all she wants, it’s all she needs
In Bagdad she cries
In Bagdad she dies
In Bagdad she lost herself halfway through the night
And all I scream and all i shout is

I wanna get lost in your eyes
I wanna get lost in your eyes
I wanna get lost in your eyes
I wanna get lost in your eyes
