High Fashion Queen — текст песни (Steve Earle)

Theres a place everyone of us can go to

Maybe you have been there once or twice

Where all your friends just look at you and whisper

And they want to give you nothing but advice



When you walk in they all know what youre after

And the higher that you get the more theyll see

In a dark room filled with music, wine, and laughter

Your eyes keep searching for her constantly



Is it that one in the corner with her eyes filled with tears

Or is she the one whos having fun drinking too much beer

Every night its the same sad old procedure

The doorman winks at you on your way out

cause deep inside he knows just what youre after

And hes got something you cant live without



Theres nothing new that can be said about dirt

And theres nothing left inside your heart but the same old hurt

Of an old loves fancy life that left you stranded in a dream

Aint you glad youre a high fashion queen

Aint you glad youre a high fashion queen
