Valium Waltz Lyrics
|
|
|
To dream as if lovers of the ultra-familiar
|
Hover above her as she¡¯s checking you out
|
Wander around her but never sleep with her
|
Watch her though windows as she pours herself out
|
|
You¡¯re scoring her shipwrecks with fiddles and dobros
|
Laugh at the plainclothes police the crowd
|
Carry her under like water or ether
|
Spirit her off when the music¡¯s too loud
|
|
And it¡¯s written all over the face of the daughter
|
Of the mayor of Marble Falls
|
When she winds up in Denton town doing the Valium waltz
|
|
Dream of the day when your memory is fickle
|
Pine for a time when your mind is made up
|
Wonder how long ¡®fore you¡¯re pear-shaped and wrinkled
|
Wind up on window-sills all knotted up
|
|
