Evening Star - Blitzen Trapper

You're a broken-hearted party girl

Your skirts on fire

your hairs uncurled

Your dancing days are at an end

Yeah youve got no

one to call your friend

All youve got left is a silhouette

An empty bed and a cheap Corvette

You're a long way

from your sweet sixteen

You need some stonewashed jeans

And a time machine

To take you back

To that railroad track

Where you first took flight

In the morning light

So take me back

To that first romance

When you made your stand

You were hand-in-hand

With the black-eyed

angel of the evening star

When you came to the

city in your cheap perfume

And you ran through the room

But you grew up soon

Always dressed like a

killer in the afternoon

Sipping warm champagne

from a silver spoon

In the night you would

travel in your lovers car

With your jewels so bright

like a shooting star

But your nightmares must

have caught up with you

And all the pills and the

prophets couldn't get you through

To take you back

To that railroad track

Where you first took flight

In the morning light

So take me back

To that first romance

When you made your stand

You were hand-in-hand

With the black-eyed

angel of the evening star

So take me back

You were found on the

ground in a lonely town

At the end of the world

in a dressing gown

Your hair was on fire

your shoes were misplaced

On your face was a trace

of a distant place

Its a long way home back to Wichita

Where they put you back together

Filled your head with straw

Now all youve got left is a silhouette

And a cheap Corvette

but girl you ain't dead yet

So take me back

To that railroad track

Where you first took flight

In the morning light

So take me back

To that first romance

When you made your stand

You were hand-in-hand

With the black-eyed angel

of the evening star

With the black-eyed angel

of the evening star

With the black-eyed angel

of the evening star
