[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 |
