[00:00.00]
[00:32.27] That's just my cowgirl alter-ego
[00:33.80] Riding on her bar room bull
[00:36.04] Dripping with the sweat of irony
[00:37.81] As the cowboys whoop and drool
[00:39.87] Shooting glances at the mirror
[00:41.33] To see if her scar is showing
[00:43.53] She is truly going nowhere tonight
[00:46.50]
[00:47.77] Lecherous old lady wanna-be
[00:49.75] Much too young and shy
[00:51.68] Flailing her whole life
[00:52.80] Just thinking she can teach herself to fly
[00:55.59] Vehement romantic
[00:56.79] Frantic for forever right now
[00:59.41] But forever's going nowhere tonight
[01:02.53]
[01:03.19] Sick of goading her self-loathing
[01:04.93] She thinks, I think I'd better leave
[01:07.12] 'Course whiskey makes me smarter
[01:09.03] And I'm happy as can be
[01:11.18] But please excuse me darlin
[01:12.87] It's not you
[01:14.58] It's me
[01:15.40]
[01:18.93] And there's a dusty old dust storm on mars, they say
[01:23.44] So tonight you can't see it too clear
[01:26.92] Still I stood in line to look through their telescope
[01:34.66] Looked like a distant ship light
[01:38.84] As seen from a foggy pier
[01:43.09] And I know that I was warned
[01:45.60] Still it was not what I hoped
[01:51.23] Yes I know that I was warned
[01:53.87] Still it was not what I hoped
[01:55.94]
[01:59.46] I think I'm done gunnin to get closer
[02:04.27] To some imagined bliss
[02:07.30] I gotta knuckle down
[02:10.29] And just be ok with this
[02:15.33] I gonna knuckle down
[02:18.49] Just be ok with this
[02:24.13] 'Course that star struck girl is already someone I miss
[02:30.26]
[02:46.52] I swear some stuff you just see better from further away
[02:50.46] And I think I communicate best now, the less I say
[02:54.58] And I can't dance if the band can't play
[02:58.53] And the vibe is going nowhere tonight
[03:01.31]
[03:02.46] 'Cuz somewhere between Hollywood and its pretty happiness
[03:06.31] And an anguish so infinite it's anybody's guess
[03:09.93] Is a place where people are all teachers
[03:12.49] And this just one long class
[03:14.28] And that ass will get you nowhere tonight
[03:17.37]
[03:18.28] There's a dusty old dust storm on mars they say
[03:22.83] So tonight you can't see it too clear
[03:26.35] Still I stood in line to look through their telescope
[03:34.15] Looked like a distant ship light
[03:38.30] As seen from a foggy pier
[03:42.58] And I know that I was warned
[03:44.91] Still it was not what I hoped
[03:50.74] Yeah I know that I was warned
[03:53.32] Still it was not what I hoped
[03:56.38]
[03:59.29] I think I'm done gunnin to get closer
[04:03.91] To some imagined bliss
[04:06.83] I gotta knuckle down
[04:09.84] Just be ok with this
[04:14.98] Gotta knuckle down
[04:18.22] Just be ok with this
[04:21.52]
[04:24.01] 'Course that star struck girl is already someone I miss
[04:29.82]
[04:30.57]
[04:31.16]
[04:31.90]
[04:32.50] END
