Dodging Assassins lyrics

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
