Turn On Billie Lyrics


When I woke up this afternoon
I knew I felt uneasy
But no matter what I'd do
Nothing seemed to please meI couldn't get out of my head
That little fight we had last night
Though I would much rather be dead
Than admit to myself that you were right
Oh, oh, oh, ohDon't be silly, turn on Billie
She's singing us to sleep
So we can dream our lives awayAnd if we wake up in full makeup
We'll paint the town blue
'Cause baby, red is so passNow don't look at me that way
You know I just can't take it
And no matter what they say
I know that we will make it'Cause when we are good, we're grand
But when we're bad we are very bad
But I stick around 'cause the love
That you're giving me is the best

I've ever had, oh, oh, oh, ohDon't be silly, turn on Billie
She's singing us to sleep
So we can dream our lives awayAnd if we wake up in full makeup
We'll paint the town blue
'Cause baby, red is so passAnd it's funny to me
The way that things have worked out
There's no doubt
(In my mind)That you can't recall
What this all was about
So let's give it upLove me sweetly and completely
Come and sit beside me
'Cause you know I need you nearWhen you're wheelin' with that feelin'
We'll paint the town pink
'Cause baby, red is so last yearDon't be silly, turn on Billie
She's singing us to sleep
So we can dream our lives awayAnd if we wake up in full makeup
We'll paint the town blue
'Cause baby, red is so pass

The Pierces, sisters Allison and Catherine, are a pair of singer-songwriters based in New York City (by way of Birmingham, Alabama and Nashville).

Former ballerinas turned songstresses, they released their self-titled debut in 2000 with Epic. The album was met with lukewarm reception, but the girls were undeterred. After moving to New York, they released Light Of The Moon with Universal in 2005, with similar luck. After leaving the label and their manager to make some serious changes, they recorded their third album with producer Roger Greenawalt and after having opened a week's worth of shows for Albert Hammond Jr. [Catherine Pierce's fiancee] in November 2006, the girls were greeted with much more enthusiastic reception and excellent press.

Thirteen Tales of Love and Revenge was released in April 2007.

The Pierces recently gained even more press when they were featured on the December 5th episode of the hit TV show, "Gossip Girl".

However, despite Catherine's high-profile celebrity romance with the Strokes guitarist, Albert Hammond Jr., the increased publicity didn't translate into sales.

According to the You'll Be Mine Songfacts, the siblings were on the verge of calling it a day when a friend of theirs, Coldplay bassist Guy Berryman, offered to produce them. The result was The Pierces fourth album, You & I, their first release after signing to Polydor.
