Topeka Lyrics

All this time she's been waiting

For something that she will never see

She washes herself over and over in the river

But she cannot erase the stain

All the night she's been waiting by the phone

She needs her good lord to call…

Late night on the dark desert to nowhere

She brushes her hair back to see

If what's ahead of her is just another fleeting mirage

That blissful all American dream… that she don't want to see

All the night she's been waiting by the phone

She needs someone to call, she's got nowhere to go

Again she screams to them she don't need a loveless home

She just rolls on and eats that fire

Motionless upon her porch swing

Blue jay upon the window sill

The alfalfa fields don't feel so fun anymore

They roll and pitch like a green dungeon… she won't take her pills

All the night she's been waiting by the phone

She needs someone to call, she's got nowhere to go

Again she screams to them she don't need a loveless home

She just rolls on and eats that fire… She's going to lose her soul

All this hills around are phosphorescent waves

She used to say that someday she will make them pay

Again she screams to them she don't need a loveless home

She just rolls on and eats that fire

She's going to lose her soul

She's going to lose her soul
