lyrics

John Berridge, 43, wearing your satin dress. You paint your nails, go out at night fishing for company, whatever can be found. From a cruel, suburban clean into a thin Dionysian dream. Put on your pumps, walk through that door just like you're all the girls in all the magazines. We cannot take you today, no you are brilliant in the fray. Keep your eyes straight ahead in this ugly little town. Your son will swear he's not your own, your love will tremble to the bone. You're looking beautiful tonight, everybody wanna take you home.
Knock them out darling with your blue mascara on, with your heartbreak done in stars and gloss. You're the first starling waking up under the dawn, you are every bit of love as you are lost.
So press your nails onto your never slender hands. You could build your life up in a city made of glass. Straighten your stocking and go dancing to the band. Everything is always new if you have broken down its past. Cause you are bright and dumb, you are stoned and numb. And you shall overcome, if you do anything at all. Cause you are not 16, and you know what it means. Your father was the king. Your mother was his queen.
Knock them out darling with your blue mascara on, with your heartbreak done in stars and gloss. You're the first starling waking up under the dawn, you are every bit of love as you are lost.
Oh my god enough, I want to get off. Oh my god enough, I wanna get off. Take me home now, handsome, I need to lie down, need to get cleaned up. Days start coming on faster, I'm feeling my age come throttling up.
Knock them out darling with your blue mascara on, with your heartbreak done in stars and gloss. You're the first starling waking up under the dawn, you are every bit of love as you are lost.
