threw my bad fortune off the top of
a tall building, but I'd rather have done it with you
your boy's smile, five in the morning
looked into your eyes and I was really in love
in chinatown, hungover
you showed me, just what i could do
talking about time travel
and the meaning and just what it was worth
and i feel like some bird of paradise
my bad fortune slipping away
and i feel the innocence of a child
everybody's got something good to say
things i once thought, unbelievable
in my life have all taken place
when we walked through little italy
i saw my reflection come right off your face
i paint pictures to remember
you're too beautiful to put into words
like a gypsy you dance in circles
all around me and all over the world
and i feel like some bird of paradise
my bad fortune slipping away
and i feel the innocence of a child
everybody's got something good to say
so i take my good fortune
and i fantasize of our leaving
like some modern-day gypsy landslide
like some modern-daybonnie and clyde
on the run again
For more glorious PJ Harvey, also see lyrics to "This Mess We're In".
Have a good one.

I was really ecstatic when I first heard Yorke and PJ singing together on "This Mess We're In". I wish they had a child together just so that there'd be a human being with the perfect voice.
