Evening Star |
You’re a broken-hearted party girl |
Your skirt’s on fire, your hair’s uncurled |
Your dancing days are at an end |
Yeah, you’ve got no one to call your friend |
All you’ve got left is a silhouette, |
An empty bed, and a cheap Corvette |
You’re a long way from your sweet sixteen |
You need some stonewashed jeans |
And a time machine |
To take you back |
To that railroad track |
Where you first took flight |
In the morning light |
So take me back |
To that first romance |
When you made your stand |
You were hand-in-hand |
With the black-eyed angel of the evening star |
When you came to the city in your cheap perfume, |
And you ran through the room, |
But you grew up soon |
Always dressed like a killer in the afternoon |
Sipping warm champagne from a silver spoon |
In the night you would travel in your lover’s car |
With your jewels so bright, like a shooting star |
But your nightmares must have caught up with you |
And all the pills and the prophets couldn’t get you through |
To take you back |
To that railroad track |
Where you first took flight |
In the morning light |
So take me back |
To that first romance |
When you made your stand |
You were hand-in-hand |
With the black-eyed angel of the evening star |
So take me back |
You were found on the ground in a lonely town |
At the end of the world, in a dressing gown |
Your hair was on fire, your shoes were misplaced |
On your face was a trace of a distant place |
It’s a long way home back to Wichita |
Where they put you back together, |
Filled your head with straw |
Now all you’ve got left is a silhouette, |
And a cheap Corvette, but girl, you ain’t dead yet |
So take me back |
To that railroad track |
Where you first took flight |
In the morning light |
So take me back |
To that first romance |
When you made your stand |
You were hand-in-hand |
With the black-eyed angel of the evening star |
