Cinnamon Girl
Type O Negative Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I want to live with a cinnamon girl
I could be happy the rest of my life
With her

A dreamer of pictures I run in the night
You see us together, chase the moonlight
My cinnamon girl
Ten silver saxes, a bass with a bow
The drummer relaxes, waits between shows
(Feels right)

A dreamer of pictures I run in the night
You see us together, chase the moonlight
(All right)
My cinnamon girl

Pa sent me money now
I'm gonna make it somehow
I need another chance




You see my baby loves to dance
Yeah
