lyrics

Darlin's off and gunnin' again
If she keeps up this act, she won't find any friends
It's not her fault that the way the highway bends
Looks so divine
She's a hotrod runnin' through a red light

And he says, "I swear to God, you'll be the death of me,
Yeah it's a nice façade, but she don't give it up for free.
I swear to God, if you could see what I see
You'd know she's worth about the foil on the leaves."

Eyes that lie, but her words ring true
She says things like, "Babe, you look so good in blue."
It's not her fault that the way your body bends
Looks so divine
She's a heart attack on the finish line

And he says, "I swear to God, you'll be the death of me,
Yeah it's a nice façade, but she don't give it up for free.
I swear to God, if you could see what I see
You'd know she's worth about the foil on the leaves."

She says, "Can I have the mic a sec, though,
One pause then we're back to the peep show,
Can I take these heels off for a minute
I'd love to get you off, but my heart's not in it.
This rock and roll fetish outdated
Tell you my real name, but you'd hate it
You can call me Arabella
Just as long as you know that I'm here to fake it."

And she says, "I swear to God, you'll be the death of me,
Yeah it's a nice façade, but I don't give it up for free.
I swear to God, if you could see what I see
You'd know he's worth about the foil on the leaves."

She wrote the book on bad clichés
She's every rocker's song, existing in his gaze
It's not her fault that the way his lyrics dance
Feels so divine
She's the Jersey Devil on a good night

She's a shotgun lookin' for a new bride
She's a kitten-heeled suicide
She's a queen bee lookin' for a new hive
She's your favorite song on a long drive
She's a fishnet junkie on a cheap bribe
She's a bad joke lookin' for a punchline
