Gaoler's Daughter Eternal Bliss lyrics

We drove the Mercedes I'd saved up for,
the one with the motorcycle dent in the door.
Pushing triple figures we both start to sing,
‘If I can Dream' by The King,
and that's my favourite song,
I live for the line,
when he growls and kind of cries,
all at the same time.

Partners in crime,
Bonnie and Clyde,
you took your porn-star shoes
along for the ride.
Your open mouth
makes me think like a sinner,
as you fix your lipstick in the rear-view mirror,
and some of my thoughts,
would make the devil blush.
Half the things you say,
would make my mother blush.


I'm not looking for eternal bliss,
I'm just looking for moments like this.

We wrote the script to the movie we were in;
I was James Dean,
and you were Marilyn.
I was only half-joking when I said it was a dream,
to die quick,
hurled through a windscreen.
And I'll never forget,
the answer you gave.
You said, 'It would be like drowning,
on the crest of a wave.'

I'm not looking for eternal bliss,
I'm just looking for moments like this.
