She lives in a house That's way back off the road There's a man with a lantern And he carries her soul A coal stove and a bed A skillet and a hound She drove a camel through A needle In this sinking board walk town
She's my black market baby She's my black market baby She's a diamond that Wants to stay coal Wants to stay coal
I swang out wide with her On hells iron gate Anything that you wanted You could have My eyes say their prayers to her Sailors ring her bell Like a moth mistakes a light bulb For the moon and goes to hell
She's my black market baby She's my black market baby She's a diamond that Wants to stay coal Wants to stay coal
There's no prayer like desire There's amnesia in her kiss She's a swan and a pistol And she will follow you like this In moverly, missouri at the Iroquois hotel She checked in with the president And she ran up quite a bill (chorus) She's whiskey in a teacup She gives blondes a lousy name She's a bonzai aphrodite And a ticket back to spain She's a hard way to go And there ain't no way To stop Every time you play the red The black is coming up
She's my black market baby She's my black market baby She's a diamond that Wants to stay coal Wants to stay coal
