Lyrics

0:15She was a livewire she was stuck in the past
0:18I was holding the middle you was waking up fast
0:22It was four in the morning she was holding on tight
0:25To a David Bowie look a like circa '85
0:29Now he's turning up his amplifier staring at his toes
0:32Even when he's looking at you he's still looking down his nose
0:36Sounds like sir's music maybe more than just a little
0:39But to me it's just another form of California dribble
0:42The top and bottom look straight to me but shaky in the middle
0:49Well there's something to be learned here
0:56Though it may seem a little insincere
1:03Like a cruel clown grinning ear to ear
1:10You're a country singer I'm a cavalier
1:23Well I wanna know the whole story over
1:27Where you came from where you going
1:29However long it takes to know you
1:31With your heavy metal heartbeat
1:32Salty but you seem sweet
1:34Tippy toes on both feet
1:36Rockin to the teen beat
1:41Well ice cream soda pop bourbon on top
1:44Some people call it rock and roll and some people call it pop
1:48Some call it country music every time you use a fiddle
1:51How am I supposed to know if that's a fact or just a riddle
1:55Too tight around the edges leave a little room to wiggle
2:01Well there's something to be learned here
2:08Though it may seem a little insincere
2:15Like a cruel clown grinning ear to ear
2:22You're a country singer I'm a cavalier
2:32Oh oo oh oo oh
2:35Oh oo oh oo oh
2:38Oh oo oh oo oh
2:42Oh oo oh oo oh
2:45Oh oo oh oo oh
2:49Oh oo oh oo oh
2:52Oh oo oh oo oh
2:55Oh oo oh oo oh
3:06Well there's something to be learned here
3:13Though it may seem a little insincere
3:20Like a cruel clown grinning ear to ear
3:27You're a psycho killer I'm a cavalier
She was a livewire  she was stuck in the past
I was holding the middle  you was waking up fast
It was four in the morning  she was holding on tight
To a David Bowie look a like circa '85
Now he's turning up his amplifier  staring at his toes
Even when he's looking at you he's still looking down his nose
Sounds like sir's music maybe more than just a little
But to me it's just another form of California dribble
The top and bottom look straight to me but shaky in the middle
Well there's something to be learned here
Though it may seem a little insincere
Like a cruel clown grinning ear to ear
You're a country singer I'm a cavalier
Well I wanna know the whole story over
Where you came from  where you going
However long it takes to know you
With your heavy metal heartbeat
Salty but you seem sweet
Tippy toes on both feet
Rockin to the teen beat
Well  ice cream  soda pop  bourbon on top
Some people call it rock and roll and some people call it pop
Some call it country music every time you use a fiddle
How am I supposed to know if that's a fact or just a riddle
Too tight around the edges  leave a little room to wiggle
Well there's something to be learned here
Though it may seem a little insincere
Like a cruel clown grinning ear to ear
You're a country singer  I'm a cavalier
Oh oo oh oo oh
Oh oo oh oo oh
Oh oo oh oo oh
Oh oo oh oo oh
Oh oo oh oo oh
Oh oo oh oo oh
Oh oo oh oo oh
Oh oo oh oo oh
Well there's something to be learned here
Though it may seem a little insincere
Like a cruel clown grinning ear to ear
You're a psycho killer  I'm a cavalier
