Georgie Boy Lyrics - Nightcrawler - Pete Yorn

Eighteen men went into the house 

And burned it to the ground 

Two men came out from the house 

Never went to town 

Everyone knew who the carpenter was 

Breaking everything 

Nathaniel was a lucky one 

He had to get his things 

Georgie Boy, oh, Georgie Boy 

Sister Anne-Marie and a 12-year-old 

They left the burning town 

Rode for miles on a subway train 

That's how the legend went down 

And, yeah, now you've been fooled 

And now you can see that 

Nothing's gonna change 

It's the witches who know 

They only do what they want 

And then like to have someone explain 

Georgie Boy, oh, Georgie Boy 

Now you can move and now you can sing 

Georgie Boy 

Now it's over when you can't ascribe 

You say now's the time for a different try 

But you have to tell 

Does running make that sound? 

Twenty years on 

It's a mission accomplished 

And everyone's feeling great 

He says, "No one's ever gonna trap me down 

Or make me make mistakes." 

So now what you do 

And now what you say 

Means nothing to the rest 

And you make a rich bitch 

And you know what you are 

Yeah, you find yourself in a purple dress 

Georgie Boy, oh, Georgie Boy 

And now you can move 

And now you can sing 

Georgie Boy, oh, Georgie Boy
