Lady Nina Lyrics - Fish

You pick out your credit cards and check into the night 

A dozen tequilas and you're feeling alright 

So you swim to the disco, out of your depth, jaded gigolo 

Your lucky charms are tarnished so you leave alone 

But there's one place left to go before the taxi home 

After all, you made your marks 

One night you'll play elizabeth taylor 

The next night you're marilyn monroe 

Forever kissing frogs that think they're princes 

Oh lady nina, where did all the romance go? 

Your little sister babysits, your husband picks you up at six 

The make-up hides the bruises and the tears so they never show 

'cause your beauty is the only thing you've ever owned 

It's the only way you've ever known to make your marks 

You made your marks, you made your marks 

We believe it's for real 

Lady nina, I'd love to take you home with me 

But I love my wife and I love my family 

I've got a good job, responsibilities 

And I need to keep respect from society 

I know you'll never act with me, I know that you're in love with me 

So how do I compare to the sailors of the ships of the night? 

Was I all right, did you come tonight, lady nina? 

You made your marks, you made your marks 

Ebony flowers pinned to a velvet cushion in a red light 

And edith piaf sings a lullaby for the night 

Just made your marks, just made your marks 

Just made your marks, just made your marks 

You made your marks 

Ebony flowers pinned to a velvet cushion in a red light 

And edith piaf sings a lullaby for the night 

Just made your marks, just made your marks 

You made your marks, and you made your marks 

Just made your marks, and you made your marks 

Just made your marks
