Noel's Lament
In my life I was Noel Gruber who worked at Taco Bell
- In my life I was Noel Gruber who worked at Taco Bell
- In Uranium City Saskatchewan
- But in my dreams I played a different role
- I was Monique Gibeau in post-war France
- A hooker with a heart of black charcoal
- I write poems to burn by firelight
- Drink champagne and guzzle gin
- Good girls call me the Town Bicycle
- Don't knock it 'til you've tried my life of sin
- Oh Claude my pimp knows never mess with me
- Last trick did that faded quick to black
- I have no idea where to find him officers
- But if you do please mention that I'd like to have returned
- The pretty knife that I stuck ten times in his back
- For I sing songs until the break of dawn
- I embrace a new man every night
- My life's one never-ending carnival
- A whirl of boozy-floozy flashing light
- I want to be that messed-up girl
- He said I think I am in love with you
- I've heard that lie a million times before
- Oh tonight I give in to the fantasy
- Take love when you can when you're a w***e
- For I sing songs until the break of dawn
- I embrace a new man every night
- My life's one never-ending carnival
- A whirl of boozy-floozy flashing light
- I want to be that messed-up girl
- So now I sell my love for opium
- In some rat-infested Chinese dive
- At night I burn myself with cigarettes
- Just to somehow prove I'm still alive
- Eight months later I catch typhoid flu
- Kicked out I see the ugly light of day
- Dying in an alley a priest kneels down to me
- My child do you have any
- Final words to the Lord you'd like to say
- Oui tell him that like him
- I choose to burn out rather than fade away
- For I sing songs until the break of dawn
- I embrace a new man every night
- My life's one never-ending carnival
- A whirl of boozy-floozy flashing light
- For I sing songs until the break of dawn
- I embrace a new man every night
- My life's one never-ending carnival
- A whirl of boozy-floozy flashing light
- I want to be that messed-up girl
- I wanna be that messed-up girl
- Broken heart a flask of gin
- Tattooed with a safety pin
- Teeth all stained with nicotine
- Running nylons shattered dreams
- Super crusty holy terror
- Wild eyes and black mascara
- Broken heart a flask of gin
- Tattooed with a safety pin
- Teeth all stained with nicotine
- Running nylons shattered dreams
- Super crusty holy terror
- Wild eyes and black mascara
- If I could have just one dream
- If he could have just one dream
- I'd be that messed-up girl
- Hey
