| [00:01.424] |
On nights like this |
| [00:09.156] |
When the world's a bit amiss |
| [00:14.459] |
And the lights go down across the trailer park |
| [00:22.661] |
I get down, I feel had |
| [00:28.382] |
feel on the verge of going mad |
| [00:33.528] |
Then it's time to punch the clock |
| [00:37.995] |
I put on some make-up |
| [00:42.201] |
Turn on the tape deck |
| [00:45.806] |
And put the wig back on my head |
| [00:53.956] |
Suddenly I'm Miss Midwest Midnight checkout queen |
| [01:00.251] |
Until I head home |
| [01:02.446] |
And I put myself to bed |
| [01:12.581] |
I look back on where I'm from |
| [01:16.735] |
look at the woman I've become |
| [01:20.627] |
And the strangest things seem suddenly routine |
| [01:26.583] |
I look up from my Vermouth on the rocks |
| [01:30.580] |
A gift wrapped wig still in the box |
| [01:34.628] |
of towering velveteen |
| [01:37.476] |
I put on some make-up |
| [01:41.081] |
Some LaVern Baker |
| [01:44.189] |
I'm pulling the wig down from the shelf |
| [01:51.556] |
Suddenly I'm Miss Beehive 1963 |
| [01:56.780] |
Until I wake up and I turn back |
| [02:03.102] |
You think that luck has left you there |
| [02:10.390] |
But maybe there's nothing up in the sky but air |
| [02:18.227] |
And there's no mystical design |
| [02:21.780] |
no cosmic lover preassigned |
| [02:25.620] |
There's nothing you can find |
| [02:28.571] |
that can not be found |
| [02:33.195] |
And if you've got no other choice |
| [02:37.035] |
You know you can follow my voice |
| [02:40.823] |
through the dark turns and noise |
| [02:43.357] |
of this wicked little town |
| [02:59.056] |
Some girls they got natural ease |
| [03:02.975] |
They wear it any way they please |
| [03:06.971] |
With their French flip curls and perfumed magazines |
| [03:13.006] |
Wear it up, wear it down |
| [03:17.133] |
This is the best way that I've found |
| [03:20.973] |
To be the best you've ever seen |
| [03:24.029] |
I put on some make-up |
| [03:27.765] |
Turn on the eight-tack |
| [03:30.873] |
I'm pulling the wig down from the shelf |
| [03:38.553] |
Suddenly I'm this punk rock star of stage and screen |
| [03:43.935] |
Until I wake up and I turn back to myself |
| [03:54.854] |
I turn back to myself |
| [04:02.351] |
I turn back to myself |
