jasmine

bat for lashes

she drives hard through the june gloom haze

legs for days and bones

her love hurtling down death's highways

the hands of a killer

the heart of a little girl

jasmine

you come along

and take me to wherever you'll like

a woman

coming on strong

jasmine

into the night

na-na-night

don't be seduced by these baby blues

that secret smile when it's captured you

'cause a little girl cracks your heart in two

sucks the juice till she turns you loose

jasmine

you come along

and take me to wherever you'll like

a woman

coming on strong

jasmine

into the night

na-na-night

into the night

na-na-night

a body bag on eucalyptus hills

and the hollywood thrill

and the endless sleeping pills

no god will ever cure your nighttime blues

like jasmine does

'cause when she blooms she kills
