[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
