|
I'm handcuffed to a fence in Mississippi |
|
My boyfriend blows a boozy goodbye kiss |
|
I see flying squirrels and nightmares of stigmata |
|
Then awakening to find my Trans-Am gone |
|
Still I'm feeling pretty good about the future |
|
Oh everything is peaches but the cream |
|
I'm handcuffed to a fence in Mississippi |
|
Where things is always better than they seem |
|
Things is always better than they seem |
|
Things is always better than they seem |
|
I see the guitar that my sister played in prison |
|
Floating with the TV in the swimming pool |
|
I'm calling for the owner of the motel |
|
And then noticing the bloodstain on the door |
|
I'm reachin' for my high heels 'neath the bushes |
|
Uh just in time to hear the sirens sing |
|
I'm handcuffed to a fence in Mississippi |
|
Where things is always better than they seem |
|
Things is always better than they seem |
|
Things is always better than they seem |
|
My go-go boots are missing |
|
My go-go boots are missing |
|
I guess I won't be kissing |
|
The boy |
|
Who loved those boots |
|
You know freedom's just a stupid superstition |
|
'Cause life's a highway that you travel blind |
|
It's true that having fun's a terminal addiction |
|
What good is happiness when it's just a state of mind |
|
For in the prison of perpetual emotion |
|
We're all shackled to the millstone of our dreams |
|
Me I'm handcuffed to a fence in Mississippi |
|
Where things are always better than they seem |
|
Things is always better than they seem |
|
Things is always better than they seem |
|
I'm feeling pretty good about the future |
