Your voice was frightened and kind of dreamy
|
You said you simply had to see me
|
And there you were with your martini
|
Your diamonds were large and your dress was teeny
|
|
Dodging assassins two by two
|
They want your ruby slippers and your little dog, too
|
|
Your words had me shaken
|
Your dress had me stirred
|
I guess I didn't answer
|
'cause you asked if I had heard
|
In your face I watched the lines
|
The growing lines of anguish
|
In the air I watched the smoke
|
From your cigarette languish
|
There in your face I saw the light
|
Like you, a fugitive of the night
|
I took a shot and said that I might
|
Help you to dodge your assassins
|
|
Dodging assassins two by two
|
They want your ruby slippers and your little dog, too
|
|
Like Dorathy I fall...
|
Little dog and all
|
|
There's vampires in the sun
|
My dear one, they want a piece of you
|
They want your ruby slippers, baby
|
And I know they want your little dog, too
|
|
Dodging assassins two by two
|
They want your ruby slippers and your little dog, too...
|
|
I don't know why
|
They want you dead
|
But now that I've helped you
|
I think they also want my head
|
I don't know why they want a piece of you
|
They want your ruby slippers and your little dog too
|
