Newspaper Gown - Damien Jurado

You can come over whenever you want

You can get dressed up and I’ll show you off

We could go dancing or hang around town

Whatever you want in a newspaper gown

Our friends think we’re lovers or so I have heard

And they try for confessions and I say not a word

So we let them keep guessing 'til they figure us out

Our made up wedding in your newspaper gown

We are placing our bets, they are making the call

We are going all in and cannot win at all

My wheels they keep spinning I am turned up side down

And we’ll be the headlines in your newspaper gown

What if I told you, what your friends think is true?

At the end of my day all I want is you

Would it destroy you?

Would you not want me around?

Am I a new pair of scissors for your newspaper gown?

We take our chances and we risked it all

I am willing to let go but not willing to fall

We can be married tonight the news will astound

Announcements made from your newspaper gown
