Whiskey Tango Lyrics - Tanya Donelly

You accuse me of fancy talk 

When I'm just trying to find my words 

You've got a funny way of saying my name 

Like I just ripped it off 

These whiskey tango ghosts 

Won't leave us alone 

But you are too polite to complain 

Of the art of speaking plain 

I haven't gathered a thing 

While I know, we're dug in deep here 

Why can't we live high with the wind 

You're just a freckle away from changing everything 

I'll make this easy by calling on my gypsy pedigree 

These whiskey tango ghosts 

Won't leave us alone 

Of the art of speaking plain 

I haven't gathered a thing 

While I know we're dug in deep here 

Why can't we live high with the wind? 

Can't we live? 

Of the art of making waves 

I had my lesson in spades 

And these ghosts they make it plain 

They're never going away 

And my ghost she makes it plain 

I haven't gathered a thing 

Though I know, we're dug in deep here 

Why can't we live high with the wind? 

Can't we live?
