Celestine

Down where the potholes fill up with rain And the waterlogged houses sit there to drain There's a girl who swept me right off my feet And her name was sweet Celestine Huuhoooh, huuhoooh, sweet Celestine Huuhoooh, huuhoooh, a beauty unseen With quip after quip, surreal and swift Lured to a room that was dim candlelit She showed me her bed and a tattooed sleeve Ohhhh sweet Celestine Huuhoooh, huuhoooh, sweet Celestine Huuhoooh, huuhoooh, a beauty unseen My heart skips a beat with a pound at the door And in walks a man I've not seen before Blood in his eyes, a badge on his chest And armed all the while Release me now from this curious fiction The bang and the flash are my benediction Another man freed of the rapt custody Of sweet Celestine
