This Girl Is Taking Bets Lyrics - As If - Thea Gilmore

This Girl is a stencil of a brushstroke in the rain 

She's a ghost of the city she's a body through the windscreen 

This girl is the snowfall where the spring should have been 

She's the stains on the pages of a top shelf magazine 

This girl is a black eye she's a bruise on your knee 

She's the ashes of the people that you really meant to be 

This girl's the resurrection she's the comeback 

She's the absinthe and whiskey she is poetry and prozac 

This girl is taking bets this girl's a silhouette cant you see 

This girl is the flutter of fake lashes in the mirror 

She's a ragged edged fedora or a spanish souvenir 

This girl is the clean cut she's the frozen ground 

She's a knife drawn down the side street when there's no-one else around 

This girls a forged ticket to a Lloyd Webber show 

She's the far end of the graveyard up where the nettles grow 

This girl is the rainbow in the dewy eyed stares 

She's the name tag on the toe of your long dead love affairs 

this girl is taking bets.... 

This girl is the wild smile the icy stare 

She's the crackle of the static she's the curses she's the prayers 

This girl is the junkie in the children's matinee 

She's the 4 minute warning 

She is hell to pay 

This girl is the plunge pool she is cocaine and kodak 

Now she's out setting sail on the ocean of the soundtrack 

This girl is the shaking hand the rattling cup 

With a button and a note saying things are looking up
