On The Strip

Every time you look my way

You show a lie in what you say

Every time you look my way

You talk a rhyme called purple haze

Close your eyes and pretend

You're not at all like then

The smartest girl out on the strip

You really know just how to be hip

Tellin' stories 'bout your crazy trip

Messin' with stars and doing tricks

Close your eyes and pretend

It's not at all like then

Big glass house on the hill

Doing dope and ditchin' school

Yesterday, Bruce Barry was here

A wild kid I thought was cool

Close your eyes and pretend

This is how it should end

Cinderella of the night

Doesn't know her left from right

She's so hungry for a bite

Forgetting her friends fork and knife

Don't you know who's keeping score?

Who's that barking at your door?

Hold tight and fear a little bit

Hold tight and fear a little bit

Hold tight and fear a little bit

Hold tight and fear

That was then, this is not

Hold tight and fear a little bit

Hold tight and fear a little bit

Hold tight and fear a little bit

Hold tight and fear

That was then, this is not

Every time you look my way

Remember a girl who used to say

Hold me tight anyway

It's okay, it's only play

I remember in the dark

Where I came from for a lark
