Mystified

歌詞

(I'm mystified) She must have been a hell of a princess Brushfire burning out of a midwest town A cosmopolitan place, like Topeka, Topeka, TOPEKA! And daddy got a new job in Lodi SF became a mighty fine place to drown But such a waste of grace, when I think about it now She's sixteen again in a summer dress Driving with a new permit Before life came along and ruined it I'm mystified She ain't Miss America Won't be a blushing bride In my dirty mind I'm the game winning quarterback She's cheering from the sidelines She lookin' wonderful And knowing it Take me to heaven For the hell of it She lookin' wonderful And knowing it Joy riding in the mothership We used to be the hometown heroes I bet they're wondering where are their heroes now? A million miles from a place like Topeka, Topeka, TOPEKA Another sad story in the Tenderloin Or heavy hitters riding high I'll leave it all to you to make up your mind I'm mystified She ain't Miss America Won't be a blushing bride In my dirty mind I'm the game winning quarterback She's cheering from the sidelines She lookin' wonderful And knowing it Take me to heaven For the hell of it She lookin' wonderful And knowing it Joy riding in the mothership Now you're sixteen again in a summer dress Choking on a cigarette Then life came along and ruined it, yeah I'm mystified she ain't miss America Won't be a blushing bride In my dirty mind I'm the game show heart attack I'm taking home the grand prize yeah You're looking wonderful and knowing it Take me to heaven in your burned out crypt, yeah You're looking wonderful and knowing it Joyriding in the mother ship I'm mystified Yeah
