She was a country girl Big dreams little world Gonna move far away You can still hear her momma say, "Arlene Arlene Arlene Arlene Don’t let those boys KNOCK YOU UP!" KNOCK YOU UP! GONNA KNOCK YOU UP! KNOCK YOU UP! Sold all her possessions dear Traded love for whiskey and beer Told her she was a star one night Black eye Blue eyes too bright

City lights are glowing black and white city of angels on TV and you will fly there to make your way out on the scene and you will be one of the bright stars in the sky so don't you mind all the sirens through the night or all the screaming right outside your front door its just another bad trip running down the corridor And there's this guy who will sell you wisdom on the street his name is Charlie and his family's kind of neat he'll feed your dreams with all this hope and LSD and you will be one of the bright stars in the sky you know you got there but you don't know how or why and as you're kneeling beside this dead starlet's corpse the sound of helper skelter right outside your front door

Hey you! Sitting there Sitting pretty in your easy chair barking orders in your underwear you're thinking you'll tell me what to wear SHUT UP! and put your dress on Mr. Toughstuff looking fine Thinking one day I'll make him mine all the other girls don't see the signs I'll put you right back in line SHUT UP! and put your dress on
4.
Talk, talk for hours Like a fool I let you in Words so real they win me over Like a record in my head You will lose this You can choose this You will lose this You can choose this Minutes turn in to hours Said you’d always be my best friend Saw you standing right beside me Turn around you’ve walked ahead Chorus repeat
5.
They say love can tear us apart Its true And your love’s toxic (just like a drug) It kills you Chorus: Come on baby Wear my love Come on baby wear my love Can’t you see this lie? Killing you Everyone’s got their opinions About you They can keep their moral high ground Its loose CHORUS
6.
You don’t talk very much But I do All of your words are so simple But they’re true I’d like to get you alone In your room Find out all of your sins To consume Talk to me Dance for me Sing to me Fuck for me I like to be in the center of the floor You look longingly At the door I push and I pull til you break Give me more You sing the one song I want I adore

Here he comes on his knees again Hands out affection like it's money to spend I'd love to hate you it will be my end Turns out this boyfriend has another friend How I love using you And I love abusing you I'd like to keep you but you're BUSTED BUSTED BUSTED Friends say his poison like a dirty rat But in the bedroom he's my kitty cat Walk him around like he's just for show Think he's a pretty girl if you didn't know
