Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In the flesh, non-fiction, siamese
Between a credit card
I lean
[Verse 2]
I wrote letters
You seemed keen
Come here and meet me
2 cities over please
[Verse 3]
Hey, big star
The consolation prize
Is behind a paywall you can peak behind
[Verse 4]
And there I was, by the Rolodex
Thank god for X-ray glasses
Now I can see all the keratin
Tell me where the story ends
[Verse 5]
Yeah, tell me where the story ends
Yeah, tell me where the story ends
Yeah, tell me where the story ends
Yeah, tell me where the story ends
[Verse 6]
And I'm not wearing my perfect eyes
And I hoped that we'd stay out tonight
And I'm not wearing my perfect eyes
And I hoped that we'd stay out tonight
Yeah, I'm not wearing my perfect eyes
And I hoped that we'd stay out tonight
Yeah, I hoped that we'd stay out tonight
Yeah, I hoped that we'd stay out tonight
Yeah, I hoped that we'd stay out tonight
Yeah, I hoped that we'd stay out tonight
[Verse 7]
I got a job at the good end factory
I was retired in a week
'Cause it was minimum wage
And the pension didn't pay out half what it should've been
[Verse 8]
So now I'm back to counting seconds
Till my face hits the concrete
[Verse 9]
"What are we doing in this call bar?"
You should just blow me a kiss
Don't you wanna fuck a big big star?
You could tie me down like this
[Verse 10]
She said, "Tell me 'bout the tears under your eyes
Is there something that I missed?"
[Verse 11]
I was never a star
I lied
I only wanted to stay the night
I just thought it might be nice
I guess
And then she took me by the hand
And she said
"Let's"
[Verse 12]
Half an hour passes and two people stare at me in the mirror
I'd never spared a thought of god for more than a second, but I think I'm a believer
So when she told me to close my eyes for a second, I just couldn't quite believe her
[Verse 13]
Then I noticed a .45 on the night stand, sitting, country sentimental
And she took me right there by my right hand
I said, "God! Just please be gentle!"
And she said, "I know a place where we both can go"
She pushed it to my temple and I–
