The Alley from DeVotchKa's wonderful 100 Lovers album!
GIt's all the same for all of us
EmA sinking ship to place your trust
CIt seems so huge to Amleave to chance
GWho among you can resist
EmHer fingers wrapped around your wrist
CFrom the beast she Ampulls a lover
CFrom this world you'll Amneed no other
CFrom this world you'll Amneed no other
GWhen it's all too much for you to take
EmTake a step back for heaven sake
CIt seems so foolish Amin this light
GWho among you can resist
EmUnfurrowed brow and finger tips
CFrom the beast she Ampulls a lover
CFrom this world you'll Amneed no other
CFrom this world you'll Amneed no other
