[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
