Last Dance Rodeo

Lyrics & Info	Tabs	Performances (56)

Your lungs fill up with concrete  Her voice is all you can hear  Red lips and a screwdriver  Wrapped around some mink clad queer  And you know that she's no diamond  In this damn jukebox hell  Cause only fools gold fools fools  In two-bit hotels  But she's cooler than all that  A real high class cat  Queen of the last dance rodeo Under the gas lamp the air is thick and velvetine  Your bones fill with hunger  Your heart fills with longing  You're no longer human  You're an insatiable hole  You wanna bury your face forever in the navel of her soul  Cause you know All you need is a heart to call home  All you need is a heart to call home - that's all Lightbulbs and nylons  And plastic chandeliers  Objects are only objects  They can't feel when you're near  But tangerine lips & lily white breasts  These things are eternal  Inside them humanity rests  Her skin is like a seashell  You listen to her soul  Like an old time radio show Cause under the gas lamp the air is thick and velvetine  Your bones fill with hunger  Your heart fills with longing  You're no longer human  You're an insatiable hole  You wanna bury your face forever in the navel of her soul  Cause you know All you need is a heart to call home  All you need is a heart to call home - that's all Don't wander too far  My one constant star  Darkness exists  except where you are  My feet are filled with wandering  They follow your own  Cause everyhwere you are feels like home So search all you miners  You hunters of dreams  Look in the alleyways  For what you know is not what it seems  And feign all you maidens  But don't resist too long  Lest you look behind you  And see your own shadow is gone Don't you know?  It's the last rodeo  You gotta find yourself a cowboy  Or someone to keep you warm when it's cold Cause under the gas lamp the air is thick and velvetine  Your bones fill with hunger  Your heart fills with longing  You're no longer human  You're an insatiable hole  You wanna bury your face forever in the navel of her soul  Cause you know  All you need is a heart to call home  All you need is a heart to call home - that's all
