Lyrics
She wears a golden buckle with a pair of devil horns
An unwilling priestess that will worship until dawn
The pans people dances she does on black soul nights
Are going to be explosive watch the touch-paper she lights.
She sets my heart alight
She sets my heart alight
A bed of 1980 and a smile that's blinding white
Everything you pilgrims need to get you though the night
Well I only heard the rumour I made into a lie
Her charismatic temperament is worth the entrance price
She got the highest price
Yeah she takes the highest price
Phenomenon or phantom well she couldn't care much less
Just while away the hours with your head laid on her breast
All memories are fading and darkness closing in
But she's making you remember every little sin
She's any little sin
She's any little sin
Waking up and making up the alibi you need
To cover up the moments you were overcome with greed
A moment turned to hours and hours into years
I'm waiting patiently for the guilt to disappear
And it starts to disappear?
And it starts to disappear?
My money on the table
And my monkey is uncaged
While the coins are slowly spinning me out into the daze
Through the mist, kissed forever
Comes the silver dollar girl
