Lord Of The Lost - Wig In A Box lyrics
[Lord Of The Lost - Wig In A Box lyrics]
On nights like this
When the world's a bit amiss
And the lights go down
Across the trailer park
I get down, I feel had
I feel on the verge of going mad
And then it's time to punch the clock
I put on some make-up
And turn on the tape deck
And pull the wig back on my head
Suddenly I'm Miss Midwest
Midnight Checkout Queen until I head home
And I put myself to bed
I look back on where I'm from
Look at the woman I've become
And the strangest things
Seem suddenly routine
I look up from my vermouth on the rocks
A gift-wrapped wig still in the box
Of towering velveteen
I put on some make-up some LaVern Baker
I'm pulling the wig down from the shelf
Suddenly I'm Miss Beehive 1963
Until I wake up and I turn back to myself
Some girls they have natural ease
They wear it any way they please
With their French flip curls
And perfumed magazines
Wear it up, let it down
This is the best way that I've found
To be the best you've ever seen
I put on some make-up
Turn on the eight track
I'm pulling the wig down from the shelf
Suddenly I'm Miss Farrah Fawcett from TV
Until I wake up and I turn back to myself
Shag, bi level, bob dorothy Hamill do
Sausage curls, chicken wings
It's all because of you
With your blow dried, feather back
Toni home wave, too flip, fro, frizz, flop
It's all because of you
It's all because of you
It's all because of you
Okay
I put on some make-up
Turn on the eight track
I'm pulling the wig down from the shelf
Suddenly I'm this punk rock star
Of stage and screen and I ain't never
Never turning back
When the world's a bit amiss
And the lights go down
Across the trailer park
I get down, I feel had
I feel on the verge of going mad
And then it's time to punch the clock
I put on some make-up
And turn on the tape deck
And pull the wig back on my head
Suddenly I'm Miss Midwest
Midnight Checkout Queen until I head home
And I put myself to bed
I look back on where I'm from
Look at the woman I've become
And the strangest things
Seem suddenly routine
I look up from my vermouth on the rocks
A gift-wrapped wig still in the box
Of towering velveteen
I put on some make-up some LaVern Baker
I'm pulling the wig down from the shelf
Suddenly I'm Miss Beehive 1963
Until I wake up and I turn back to myself
Some girls they have natural ease
They wear it any way they please
With their French flip curls
And perfumed magazines
Wear it up, let it down
This is the best way that I've found
To be the best you've ever seen
I put on some make-up
Turn on the eight track
I'm pulling the wig down from the shelf
Suddenly I'm Miss Farrah Fawcett from TV
Until I wake up and I turn back to myself
Shag, bi level, bob dorothy Hamill do
Sausage curls, chicken wings
It's all because of you
With your blow dried, feather back
Toni home wave, too flip, fro, frizz, flop
It's all because of you
It's all because of you
It's all because of you
Okay

Turn on the eight track
I'm pulling the wig down from the shelf
Suddenly I'm this punk rock star
Of stage and screen and I ain't never
Never turning back
