life is a highway
i could make a dress. a robe fit for a prince. i could clothe a continent but i cant sew a stitch. i can paint my face and stand very very still. its not very practical but it pays the bills. i cant change my name but i could be ur type. i can dance and win at games like backgammon and life. i used to be the sharp one. sharp as a tack. funny how that skipping years ahead has held me back. i used to be the bright one. top of the class. funny what they give u when u just learn how to ask. i can write a song but i cant sing in key. i can play piano but i never learnt to read. i cant trap a mouse but i can pat a cat. no im really serious! im really very good at that. i cant fix a car but i can fix a flat. i could fix a lot of things but id rather not get into that. i used to be the bright one. smart as a whip. funny how u slip so far when teachers dont keep track of it. i used to be the tight one. the perfect fit. funny how those compliments can make u feel so full of it. i can shuffle, cut and deal but i cant draw a hand. i cant draw lots of things, i hope u understand. im not exceptionally shy but ive never had a man that i could look straight in the eye and tell my secret plans. i can take a vow and i can wear a ring. and i can make u promises but they wont mean a thing. cant u do it for me, ill pay u well. fuck ill pay u anything if u could end this. cant u try and fix it for me, its gone berserk. fuck ill give u anything if u can make the damn thing work. hello, i love u wont u tell me your name ? Hello, im good for nothing - will u love me just the same ?
