Van Dyke Parks
Faded Beauty Queens
How did you do it?
"Well," she said
"smoke & mirrors...
Anything for love, anything for love."
Low expectations
Breathing down my back
No grudge unworthy of holding
I know that won't be hard
I know that won't be hard
You can't take the city
Out of a city girl
Well I don't know how we ended up here
Wide eyed
& new money with faded beauty queens
Well i don't know how we ended up here
Right before i meet ya, i had fire in my eyes
Down by the river
I found a little town
Down by the river
Where all the lovers go
Where all the lovers go..
Making teenage boys feel like a Christmas tree
Ogling eyes, ogling eyes
I know you dread the day when it's any other way
You can't take the city
Out of a city girl
Well I don't know how we ended up here
Wide eyed
& new money with faded beauty queens
Well i don't know how we ended up here
Right before i meet ya, i had fire in my eyes
You can't take the city
Out of a city girl
Well I don't know how we ended up here
Wide eyed
& new money with faded beauty queens
Well i don't know how we ended up here
Right before i meet ya, i had fire in my eyes
