Bill Mallonee Wintergreen Lyrics

[Verse 1]
She pops a stick of Wintergreen outside the cash machine
It's lonely being lovely all the time
Yeah, when the rules all change the strange terrain of love's modern game
The ones that you play in your mind

[Verse 2]
Yeah, I was across the block, baby, when the bomb went off
But I felt it just the same
Knew it was meant for me, but you're a little bad with your trajectory
Still my heart's a bit shell-shocked

[Chorus]
How could you walk away from this so easily?

[Verse 3]
Dead of night, and the city's bright
Caught blinking at the traffic light
The tapes are so hard to erase
Baby, I've been going wrong ever since you've been gone Are you chasing or being chased?

[Chorus]
How could you walk away from this so easily?

[Verse 4]
Yeah, I got a heart of stone
Everybody's got a stained-glass soul
Been sleeping at Gesthsemene
Got Mother Mary and a rosary
You had secrets, and I had baggage
Together we decided to unpack it
Dreamed a dream
Now you're laughing at it
You're just a girl in a leather jacket
[Verse 3]
Dead of night, and the city's bright
Caught blinking at the traffic light
It's a drink or an SM-58
Baby, we've been going wrong ever since you been gone
Are you chasing or being chased?

[Chorus]
How could you walk away from this so easily?
