Vigilante Lover Lyrics - John Cale

Oh you think you got a gypsy smile 

But it won't get you out of trouble this time 

All you ever had is the memory 

And the rose that you keep for company 

Anyone could have cracked the code 

Anybody could have cracked that code 

So touch up your makeup 

And save up all your pride 

You once made everyone your lover 

And I bet you felt just like a bride 

While they were talking in some foreign tongue 

You were parading around like a beggar in an iron lung 

Cause something must be breaking your heart 

Yes something is breaking your heart 

That I loved like a vigilante lover 

That I loved like a vigilante fool

The air was heavy over the village square 

It's not everyday they auction off despair 

There were voices floating in that country air 

And secret policemen watching everywhere 

Anyone could have cracked the code 

Anyone could have cracked that code 

I drive a stolen car 

I got a monkey jar 

That makes the blood run cold 

And I see through windows 

And I hear through walls 

But nothing you can do can touch me at all 

But I wouldn't feel so forlorn 

There must be some saving grace 

I hear the Rosy Christians have just hit town 

And they're all heading for your place

Cause something is breaking your heart 

Something is breaking your heart 

I hope something is 

I loved you like a vigilante lover 

I loved you like a vigilante fool
