Her Last Act, Her Last Legs Lyrics

Hate to be great if I could just be yours

Bills piled at the foot of my door

Which the landlady stacks as she wonders what the clouds hide

Horrendous feeling won't see you again

On edges of plains backs of titans

Dust devils pigeons and a stray dog scarfing

Grains from an abandoned silo park our minivan

Way out West where there's kite strings and kilograms

What kind of superstar would I have to be?

Move my friends and family out of New Jersey

Where oh where can I ensure their safety?

Benzedrine and booze were at our mercy

Though it pains me to say it would've killed me if you'd stayed

Sorry Chelsea but I resented when you got up to leave

Guess you moved

Like I knew you would

If anywhere but here

Let's be in Hollywood

Guess you moved

Like I knew you would

If anywhere but here

Let's be in Hollywood

Guess you moved

Like I knew you would

If anywhere but here let's be in Hollywood

You were nodding off

So spare me the song

I was already gone

Before you put the kettle on

Nothing to escape

In going majestic

But when I get where I'm going

They'll say "you're from the cut of my jib kid"

Barefoot on the scalding asphalt hands in clay

All that songs that hurt to hear and tempt me to stay

The wipers on the windshield quiver and break

The soot on the window and cluttering the driveway

The air is sour I'll catch the train

Watch the stirring in the trees

And the pipes to the where the smoke fades

Don't be so wild boys

I don't want you to die

But baby I don't want you in my life

It's easier to be drunk than to accept this love

Knowing that it's something I could leave behind

In a burning building

Or drowning with the sun

To fumble through thorns for rosebuds

The crowds demanding we spill some blood

A small price weighed against the sum

Cause look at all the fun we're having

On spurs and studs!

The chalice dry long before the cup

Callous and presumptuous

While we're young

Margaret our legs will carry us

If we must be elsewhere soon

Let's be in Hollywood!

If we must be elsewhere soon

Let's be in Hollywood!
