Vigilante Lover Lyrics by John Cale

Vigilante Lover Lyrics

    Oh you think you got a gypsy smile
    But it won't get you out of trouble this time
    All you ever had is the memory
    And the rose that you keep for company

    Anyone could have cracked the code
    Anybody could have cracked that code

    So touch up your makeup
    And save up all your pride
    You once made everyone your lover
    And i bet you felt just like a bride

    While they were talking in some foreign tongue
    You were parading around like a beggar in an iron lung
    Cause something must be breaking your heart
    Yes something is breaking your heart
    That i loved like a vigilante lover
    That i loved like a vigilante fool

    The air was heavy over the village square
    It's not everyday they auction off despair
    There were voices floating in that country air
    And secret policemen watching everywhere

    Anyone could have cracked the code
    Anyone could have cracked that code

    I drive a stolen car
    I got a monkey jar
    That makes the blood run cold
    And i see through windows
    And i hear through walls
    But nothing you can do can touch me at all

    But i wouldn't feel so forlorn
    There must be some saving grace
    I hear the rosy christians have just hit town
    And they're all heading for your place

    Cause something is breaking your heart
    Something is breaking your heart
    I hope something is

    I loved you like a vigilante lover
    I loved you like a vigilante fool
