lyrics

Wild and lonely, the city has changed
The buildings are gone or they ain’t the same
I thought that I’d sung you for the last time
But I still got this voice and you’re still on my mind

Sand in your bedroom, a swish neath your feet
Fix your makeup in the mirror, tap your toes to a beat
From a hip slice of wax. I introduced you to cool
Now, you’re too cool for me, hell, you’re too cool for cool

Tell me, oh, tell me what must be done
In July you’re high, in August you’re hung
Tell me, oh, tell me with your sweet honest tongue
Can you come back from hell, can you still be someone?

My old lady saw you on TV last night
Backing some country singer, second fiddle to the right
I’m still holdin hope that you’ll grab the spotlight
You still got that voice I'd pay to hear any night

I’m strong like the musk ox, truth is I know him quite well
I guess you go to Wyoming when you come back from hell
Wild and lonely, no cities to save
You wear a ten gallon hat, you’re either dead or you’re brave old lady saw

Tell me, oh, tell me what must be done
In July we were high, in August we're hung
Tell me, oh, tell me with your sweet honest tongue
Are you more than a muse? Can you still be someone?

The answer is no, the answer is final
Melt down the gold, melt down the vinyl
Our song has been sung for the very last time
But you still got that voice and I still got mine
