lyrics

I met the girl from the cinnamon garden
she looked at me from the edge of the stage
She sang a song about the children of Napalm
and how their glow was like death's mascaraed

And I was so loaded, the sound was electric
I found asylum in her sinister gaze
She raised up her hands and she posed like a martyr
next thing I knew all the kids were rushing the stage

We stayed up late and we talked about voodoo
and all the freaks that we knew in LA
We swore to god that we'd never go back there
and if we did, we'd better get paid

And when they closed down the bar we went out in the street light
We got lost in a chemical haze
We fell down laughing in a spiral of toxins
We woke up stoned and confused in dark alleyways

I met the girl from the cinnamon garden
but I don't know if she remembers my name
Last time I saw her she was stiff as a hard-on
and she kept biting her nails and looking away
looking away, she kept on looking away
electric little girl, looking away
