She Wonders

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Driving through dust devils in the hot butter light Swimming pool, Holiday Inn, Nowhere, Southwest again And he was sipping gin And driving the point of his gas-station knife into the walls And she was sitting on the corner of the bed Pretending to drink Thinking 'ain't this just like a movie set?' [Chorus] What do they think of me? Is it embarrassing that I can't lose control? And now that we're alone Are you pretending? Are you pretending? Are you pretending? 'Cause you don't have to for me [Post-Chorus] Night highway trees Motel window reflecting back You don't want to feel anything But you don't want to feel nothing [Verse 2] And the mist of Texas rain makes a halo round her face And he asks her on the Jackalope patio "Do you feel like a rockstar on stage?" She says "It never lasts I feel eight and seventy years old so fast" Can't be reckless free 'Cause then they say us girls are batshit crazy And one look at his milk-fed face The part the other one plays And she can see they'll all never understand [Chorus] (She wonders) What do they think of me? (What do we think?) Is it embarrassing that I can't lose control? And now that we're alone When they're gone Lying on this cracked-leather sofa Are you pretending? Are you pretending? Are you pretending? 'Cause you don't have to for me You don't have to for me [Outro] Being cool doesn't mean anything When it's just me Being cool doesn't mean anything Doesn't mean anything
