When I Left Your Place (LSD Version)

from Meet Me In Cognito by The Bottom Dollars

/

lyrics

When i left your place you were sleeping

On tomorrow's New York Times

Before my feet were out the door

Your story caught my eye.

And I stood like a deer in the headlights

Well you ain't the only one with a deadline…

When I left your place you were sleeping,

I left your place in the rain.



Well the newsstands were selling your pictures,

With a coffee and a roll.

West 4th made Bushwick bigger

Brooklyn please don't you swallow me whole.

Well I left your place for a reason,

Hell it ain't my position to judge

When I left your place you were sleeping.

When I left with the cold for the sun.



For now I'll just sleep on the subway

For now is the past to the young,

And the old dance in turnstiles with roughnecks,

Cut me down to the core to my soul.



I came back to your place with a newsprint,

I came for the love that I stole,

Slipped it right from your bed to my pocket

Pulled the newspaper under your door.

Cut the bag from the thin blue plastic,

And your picture's right there just like magic,

When I left your place you were sleeping,

Now you're up and I'm asking you for…

For just one more night for the headlines

For just one last drink for the road

When I left your place you were sleeping,

When I left with the sun for the cold.
..
Let your smoke sit tight on my ceiling

Even though baby, you smell like fire.

After all its my fault for believing,

Everyone falls in love with the liars.
