Pretty Mouth and Green My Eyes Lyrics
My manners say to me
You’ve had too much to drink.
Say goodnight, Pretty Mouth and Green My Eyes.
Over the hills and avalanches,
Into the house of rising branches,
Pretty Mouth and Green My Eyes,
You tell lies politely.
Over the hills and through the woods, (You tell lies)
Into this house we go, (You tell lies)
You can light my cigarette,
Do not answer the phone.
Pretty Mouth and Green My Eyes,
Something so romantic,
Pretty Mouth and Green My Eyes,
It’s been so long since I’ve said it.
Pretty Mouth and Green My Eyes,
Something so romantic,
Pretty Mouth and Green My Eyes,
It’s been so long since I’ve said it.
The snow has covered every tainted footstep, how ‘bout that?
And with it washed the scent of fragrant mischief, yeah, yeah.
And then the gold ring, and it loosens off of your hand,
And in that moment,
You’re unmarried man, yeah.
Pretty Mouth and Green My Eyes,
Something so romantic,
Pretty Mouth and Green My Eyes,
It’s been so long…
You’ve had too much to drink.
Say goodnight, Pretty Mouth and Green My Eyes.
Into the house of rising branches,
Pretty Mouth and Green My Eyes,
You tell lies politely.
Over the hills and through the woods, (You tell lies)
Into this house we go, (You tell lies)
You can light my cigarette,
Do not answer the phone.
Something so romantic,
Pretty Mouth and Green My Eyes,
It’s been so long since I’ve said it.
Something so romantic,
Pretty Mouth and Green My Eyes,
It’s been so long since I’ve said it.
And with it washed the scent of fragrant mischief, yeah, yeah.
And then the gold ring, and it loosens off of your hand,
And in that moment,
You’re unmarried man, yeah.
Something so romantic,
Pretty Mouth and Green My Eyes,
It’s been so long…

JD Salinger wrote Pretty Mouth and Green My Eyes. I didn't really understand the story, but I don't really understand the song either, so I guess it works.
