Last Dance Rodeo

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Your lungs fill up with concrete Her voice is all you can hear Red lips and a screwdriver Wrapped around some mink-clad queer And you know that she's no diamond In this damn jukebox hell 'Cause only fools gold fools fools In two-bit hotels But she's cooler than all that A real high-class cat Queen of the last dance rodeo [Chorus] But under the gas lamp The air is thick and velveteen Your bones fill with hunger Your heart fills with longing You're no longer human You're an insatiable hole You wanna bury your face forever In the navel of her soul 'Cause you know All you need is a heart to call home All you need is a heart to call home That's all [Verse 2] Lightbulbs and nylons And plastic chandeliers Objects are only objects They can't feel when you're near But tangerine lips and lily-white breasts These things are eternal Inside them humanity rests Her skin is like a seashell You listen to her soul Like an old-time radio show [Chorus] 'Cause under the gas lamp The air is thick and velveteen Your bones fill with hunger Your heart fills with longing You're no longer human You're an insatiable hole You wanna bury your face forever In the navel of her soul 'Cause you know All you need is a heart to call home All you need is a heart to call home That's all [Bridge] Don't wander too far My one constant star Darkness exists, except where you are My feet are filled with wandering They follow your own 'Cause everywhere you are feels like home [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] So search all you miners You hunters of dreams Look in the alleyways For what you know is not what it seems And feign, all you maidens But don't resist too long Lest you look behind you And see your own shadow is gone Don't you know? It's the last rodeo You gotta find yourself a cowboy Or someone to keep you warm when it's cold [Chorus] 'Cause under the gas lamp The air is thick and velveteen Your bones fill with hunger Your heart with longing You're no longer human You're an insatiable hole You wanna bury your face forever In the navel of her soul 'Cause you know All you need is a heart (To call home) (All you need is a heart) To call home All you need is a heart To call home (Yeah, yeah) All you need is a heart (All you need is, all you need is, all you need is) To call home Is a heart, that's all That's all
