Beauty of Your Smile - Alejandro Escovedo

Rico’s on the corner

Wearing a skirt made of cellophane

Olener’s in the alley

Washing the blood out of his shirt

The candyman and the starman

Are taking tips from the shaman

Who’s working under the webcam

All angles and long shots

No one can take the beauty of your smile

No one can break the beauty of your smile

Billy nightshade owns the corner of Eddy and Jones

Bambi lives in a room made of clothes

Paris model selling memories at a yard sale

Hit it hard hit it hard

Don’t worry about me slowburn

No one can take the beauty of your smile

No one can break the beauty of your smile

No one can break the beauty of your smile

No one can take the beauty of your smile

Methodone is a lonely home

When you’re nodding out

In the lobby of the Taylor hotel

The ghosts of the doorman

Still smell like piss and howl for no reason

At the ghosts of long shoremen

Cloud cover passing in the shape of a gun

There’s no safe way home when you’re on the run

I told her not to go

I told her not to go

There’s no safe way home

When you are made of light

No one can take the beauty of your smile

No one can break the beauty of your smile

No one can take the beauty of your smile

No one can break the beauty of your smile
