The Green Pajamas

When You're Good To Me

When you’re good, you’re good until
When you’re bad and better still
I can never drink my fill
And you’re beautiful tonight
With that black stuff ‘round your eyes
In your truth and in your lies

Aren’t you a bad girl
Aren’t you a bad girl
When you’re good to me

Unpin the secrets from their line
Put them in a little shrine
Whisper that they all are mine
You had me in a state of grace
Pushed her essence in my face
Put her in my mouth to taste

Aren’t you a bad girl
Aren’t you a bad girl
When you’re good to me

In the wash of the beer
Drown my sorrows, drown my fear
Swims the madness ever near
In the darkness of the tide
That you can’t entirely hide
What I need you provide

Aren’t you a bad girl
Aren’t you a bad girl
Aren’t you a bad girl
Aren’t you a bad girl
When you’re good to me
