Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Meet me in the middle, babe
Promise not to misbehave
You rip me from my centre fold
Yeah, your mouth is warm but your words are cold
[Verse 2]
Looking through the whiskey glass
Stepping over all the cracks
Empty promise in your hands
Tell me nothing good girl, ever lasts
[Chorus]
Here we are standing in the quicksand
Smother me softly with a slow dance
Housewife dreams of America
One more sip and I’m giving up
[Verse 3]
What have you got if your God is money?
What have you got if your God is money?
How do you pray on your knees every Sunday?
Building a house that you’re never gonna live in
Tryna get your kicks but your heart’s not in it
Oh
Heart’s not in it
[Chorus]
Here we are standing in the quicksand
Smother me softly with a slow dance
Housewife dreams of America
One more sip and I’m giving up
Here we are standing in the quicksand
Smother me softly with a slow dance
Housewife dreams of America
One more sip and I’m giving up
[Bridge]
What in the world could I do?
Whoever might I be?
I’m at the periphery
Of my strange whims
Yet I won’t win
[Chorus]
Housewife dreams of America
One more sip and I’m giving up
Day and night talking to the phone line
Praying some God will get me outside
[Outro]
Hard stuff in my coffee cup
Housewife dreams of America
