Covered in You
(Jagger/Richards/Clifford)

 

Covered in you, covered in you

Coming a bit unscrewed

Covered in you, covered in you

Feeling a bit unglued

 

I need a place to calm me down, but this town is so noisy

I need to drown my troubles somewhere, you're my love

You're the coat I can't take off, I'm aware of your affairs

And your perfume I can't shake off, I can never break off

The memory that's following me like a shadow

I'm always dreamin' of your skin so soft

And ya hit me in the chest with your arrow in my marrow

You're painted on my body all silver and gold

And purple and pink and your brain stone cold

This never gets old

 

Covered in you, covered in you

Coming a bit unscrewed

Covered in you, covered in you

Feeling a bit unglued

What can I do, what can I do?

I'm coming a bit unglued

 

Yeah

 

Listen, I wake up sick and tired of all these autocrats

You know they seem to be breeding like a swarm of dirty rats

With their missiles on parade, and they're wreathed in gold brocade Opposition plays charades, they must always be obeyed

You know I'm gonna wait till the panic passes

Wait till you see the whites of their asses

Me and you were separated like Korea

There's so many knots we can't undo, we can't untie

You're always trying to give me bad reviews

 

Covered in you, covered in you

Coming a bit unscrewed

Covered in you, covered in you

Feeling a bit unglued

Smothered in blue, smothered in blue

Coming a bit unscrewed

Covered in you, covered in you

Feeling a bit abused

 

You were born on my doorstep, that's no coincidence

It all makes perfect sense, you know it's true

'Cause I'm covered in you, upset my equilibrium

Make me take way too much lithium

So goodbye, lover, wish me luck

I'm gonna vanish down the highway in my truck

'Cause I couldn't really give a monkey's

 

Covered in you, covered in you

Coming a bit unscrewed

Covered in you, covered in you

Feeling a bit abused

Smothered in blue, smothered in blue

Feeling a bit unglued

 

You were born on my doorstep, that's no coincidence

It all makes perfect sense, you know it's true

Covered in you, 'cause I'm covered in you

What can I do?

Covered in you, bent out of skew

Coming a bit unglued

Smothered in blue, broke the taboos

Coming a bit unscrewed
