It Was Never Enough Lyrics

She was pleasant under glass

Kept her foot on the gas

She was a black lightning storm a brewin'

She danced the twist of fate

She never cleaned her slate

She hitched a ride on the road to ruin

She was everything at once but it was never enough

She ate the curry favor

In the daily flavor

Courted different spheres of influence

She would promise you this and she would promise you that but she was never promiscuous

She was everything at once but it was never enough

She was everything at once but it was never enough

Well she adored the pressure

Kept the band together

While she confounded all the critics

She made up pompous quotes

For the liner notes

She kept the rights to all the lyrics

She was everything at once but it was never enough

She could find the clown in every one-horse town

She could make him sign the confession

She could keep the beat from her catbird seat

She would never take any questions

She was everything at once but it was never enough

She was everything at once but it was never enough

Well she met a man, let's call him Dollar Dan

And he came in tens and twenties

She moved into his home, picked him to the bone

Pretty soon there wasn't any

She was everything at once but it was never enough

Dear old Dan's estate could not appreciate

So his banker came a knocking

But she was on a plane to Portugal or Spain

With a plunder that was shocking

She was everything at once but it was never enough

She was everything at once but it was never enough
