lyrics

What do you got?
You're still daddy's daughter
Your sugar man he faultered
You got everything and more

Where you gonna go
From at the gas station
Facing the nation and
The needles on full

How you gonna roll
Now your friend is your lover
Gone undercover
Giving you more

And there's 80's hair bands
Playing on the radio
All the while your
Friends they come and they go

How you gonna know
When the royals come over?
Turn on MTV and
Play Elton John for them

It's all going down now
The idyliic clergy
Gave up on you early
Your in trouble again

How's it gonna be
When the teenage hystrionics
Suicidal mechanics
You wake up and they're gone

And there's 80's hair bands
Playing on the radio
All the while your
Friends they come and they go

Oh girl, yeah you know
Oh love, don't they come and they go

How's the story go
when the ruse is all over
Ripped up your own picture
And you threw it all away

How's it gonna be
When you're leaving Coldwater
A lamb from a slaughter
On to Boise, Idaho

And there's 80's hair bands
Playing on the radio
Where you left and why you went
They never know

No they never, never know
