I knew It was over on the day that I saw her
A silver screen actress gone undiscovered
She’s walking on water
She’s emerging from a dream
A ghost without a haunt
Her insides bursting at the seams
I said oh
Please don’t look my way
Oh years ago they simply tried to burn her at the stake
She said – ‘I gave my life to Jesus Christ at such an early age
But the lord don’t give as much as he truly takes away
And now I’m never gonna crumble under anybody’s gaze’
I said oh
Please don’t look my way
She was just standing there in her vampire lingerie
Oh this’ll be the last time that I bail you out of jail
And breathing plumes of spirits staring out the window pane
She said – ‘My daddy always told me I’m the reason it rains…’
Well I knew there was trouble in those Gail Russell eyes
And the scars along her wrists piled high with cemetery bites
As that long black flag of death well It Just waved into the Night
She said ‘…these crucifix blues – they never ask for your advice.’
I said oh
Please don’t look my way
Please don’t look my way
