Love Is A Loaded Pistol

Lyrics

Billie crept softly into my waking arms
 Warm like a sip of sour mash
 Strange fruit for a sweet hunk of trash
 Panic at the stage door of Carnegie Hall
 Famous jazz singer gone AWOL
 Still left the building, body and soul
 On a creaky piano stool tonight
 As the moon is my only witness
 She was breathing in my ear, "This time it's love"
 But love is a loaded pistol
 And by daybreak she's gone
 Over the frozen river home
 Me and Johnnie Walker
 See in the new age alone
 Stormy weather across the moon tonight
 Billie, time is a wily trickster
 Still an echo in my heart says, "This time it's love"
