The Distillers, "Gypsy Rose Lee"
(2000)

When I see you lay down
Under pink lacquered skies
Baby, I'll give you something
That'll shut your eyes
To this mess

When I love you baby
I mean it more than just the whole world
And when I take a picture that's instant
Lost tonight, oh baby it burns

I said I remember it so
I saw your eyes go through the tunnel
And I remember Australian sun
I was eight years old
You were Marilyn Monroe

Oh you gotta take it
Oh yeah take it on
Playing backyard blues
Blackheart stuck up in their jaw
I can nail
I'll nail this on
Oh she ain't the whole world

Break it down

Oh I've tasted
I tasted too too many nights
Lost in space
I remember kneeling down
On my knees
Caught in the ground

When I love you baby
I mean it more than just the whole world
And when
Saw Gypsy Rose
Gypsy Rose
She rose to me

I remember
A rolling stone
Oh rolling on down through your bones
Oh you gotta save, you gotta save your soul
Well she ain't the whole world

When I love you baby
I mean it more than just the whole world
And when
Saw Gypsy Rose
Gypsy Rose
She rose to me baby

I love you baby
I mean it more than just the whole world
And well
when I know your sin
I know your sin
I know your wings


Thanks, Dru!

Surely you're familiar with Gypsy.
