Faded Beauty Queens
The Thrills
Let's Bottle Bohemia (2004)

How did you do it?
"Well," she said,
"smoke & mirrors...
anything for love, anything for love."
Low expectations
breathing down my back.
No grudge unworthy of holding.
I know that won't be hard,
I know that won't be hard.
You can't take the city
out of a city girl,
well I don't know how we ended up here.
Wide eyed
& new money with faded beauty queens.
Well i don't know how we ended up here.
Right before i meet ya, i had fire in my eyes.
Down by the river,
I found a little town.
Down by the river,
where all the lovers go,
where all the lovers go..
Making teenage boys feel like a Christmas tree,
ogling eyes, ogling eyes.
I know you dread the day when it's any other way.
You can't take the city
out of a city girl,
well I don't know how we ended up here.
Wide eyed
& new money with faded beauty queens.
Well i don't know how we ended up here.
Right before i meet ya, i had fire in my eyes.
