Oh, Camille

VERSE
 Burnin' candles, watchin' shadows
 Long hours melt away in spider town
 Sultry ev'nings, whisperin' windows
 I sit and listen to the rain come down
 CHORUS
 Oh, Camille, read all about it in my letter
 Oh, Camille ...
 VERSE
 Howlin' wolves out chasin' deer make
 Dark, ugly pictures for my soul to see
 Pale pianos leave me wond'rin'
 "How go these nights of yours in Italy?"
 (REPEAT CHORUS)
 VERSE
 Took a walk down flights of stairs, I
 Went out to wander where the rain has been
 Saw a madman preachin' tombstones
 I'm feelin' better 'bout the shape I'm in
 (REPEAT CHORUS)
 BRIDGE
 Ain't got no jokes to tell
 Just lotsa books to read
 Wild hearts an' traffic sounds
 All poundin' ev'rywhere
 It's electricity
 It's flowin' into me
 I am at home in here
 These blues are right for me
 (INSTRUMENTAL OUT)
