Drag
Grant Lee Buffalo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Shoot that cannonball into my wings
Shoot that cannonball into my wings
Into my wings
Gunpowder stings
You better tell me sweet things

Unload your pretty head into my ear
Unload your pretty head into my ear
Isn't it quaint
Isn't it queer
You gotta drag me back here
Here

Sing Van Morrison would ya kizza-my-eyes
Sing Van Morrison would ya kizza-my-eyes
Singing it low
Singing it high
Would ya kizza-my-eyes
My eyes

Turn me on my ear
When you drag me right back here

Here
You got to drag me right back here
You got to drag me right back here
You got to drag me right back




You got to drag me right back here
Into love
