Mckinley - Citizen Kane lyrics

rate me

(McKinley)<br />

He froze the air with his funny stare,<br />

She felt the hair raise on her bare arms.<br />

He said, "It's not lost on me the irony, the waste we are."<br />

He took her wrists, pulled her down to sit next to him.<br />

He said, "Let me tell you a story since it's all I can do.<br />

There are so many like this that it's almost hard to choose.<br />

You know the ones already about the plucky, silly girls<br />

That make the best out of life,<br />

Look fetching in a flour-sack dress behind<br />

A good man, a good man and this is where the story falls apart.<br />

"You're not plucky or silly and I don't have an especially warm heart."<br />

She put her hand over his mouth, said, "What the hell are you talking about?"<br />

I know those girls that make the best out of life<br />

Look fetching in an hour-glass dress.<br />

They're lonely for a boy like you to talk to.<br />

I've been so lonely for a boy like you to talk to.<br />

If you'd stop playing Citizen Kane<br />

Then we can turn these cameras off and start again.<br />

I'm not some silly girl that makes the best out of life<br />

Looks fetching in a flour-sack dress behind<br />

A good man, a good man, a good man.<br />

He said, "It's not lost on me, the irony."
