Lyrics
In the flesh, non-fiction, Siamese
Between a credit card, I lean
I wrote letters, you seemed keen
Come here and meet me two cities over please
Hey big star, the consolation prize
Is behind a paywall you can peek behind
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
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
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
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

Don't you wanna fuck a big, big star? You could tie me down like this
She said, "Tell me 'bout the tears under your eyes, is there something that I missed?"
Well, 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"
Well, half an hour passes, and two people stare at me in the mirror
I've never spared a thought of God for more than one 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
And then I noticed a .45 on the nightstand sitting country sentimental
Then 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 can both go", and she pushed it to my temple, and I-
