The Pierces – Turn On Billie lyrics

When I woke up this afternoon
I know I felt... uneasy
But no matter what I do
Nothing seemed to please me
I couldn't get out of my head
That little fight we had... last night
But I would much rather be dead
Than admit to myself... that you were right

Oh... Oh... Oh... Ohhh

Don't be silly
Turn On Billie
She's singing us to sleep
So we can dream our lives away
And if we wake up
In full make-up
We'll pant the town blue
Cause baby, red is so passe

Now don't look at me that way
You know I just can't... take it
And no matter what they say
I know that we will.... Make it
Cause when we are good we are grand
But when we're bad... we are.. very bad (so bad)
But it has to go round
Cause the love that you are giving me is the best
I have ever had

Oh... Oh... Oh... Ohhh

Don't be silly
Turn On Billie
She's singing us to sleep
So we can dream our lives away
And if we wake up
In full make-up
We'll pant the town blue
Cause baby, red is so passe

And it's funny, to me
The way that things have worked out
There's no doubt in my mind
That you can't recall what this song was about
So let's give it up...

Love me sweetly, and completely
Come and sit beside me
Cause you know I need you near
When you're reeling, with that feeling
We'll paint the town pink, cause red is so last year
Don't be silly
Turn On Billie
She's singing us to sleep
So we can dream our lives away
And if we wake up
In full make-up
We'll pant the town blue
Cause baby, red is so passe
