Erecting A Movie Star lyrics
by Liz Phair
[Verse 1]
Take off your right hand
'Cause you don't use it a lot
In dreams you're so scared but so what?
At the wrecking ball
[Pre-Chorus]
Your eyes were open
You had them flown in at birth
Your skin is hempen
[Chorus]
Erecting a movie star
I saw you there
You had your lover so fair in your heart
Arrived in really bloody make-up and scarf
I caught your breath
You are the flower sewn into the bar
But what we're trying hard to make is a stem
It's self sale art
[Verse 2]
Take off your right hand
'Cause you don't use it a lot
Your dreams are so scant but so what?
You're a pecking doll
Who red lips the Couillard's Joshua
Who just missed the Murder Car dopey dance
From baby to baby to hotel bar playbacks
Saw you there
[Verse 3]
You had your lover, a feather in arm
Berated kisses in the wake of the smarm
Just bobbing there
Your partner spilled up the stairs to the bar
Which is a really small estate on a farm
Well, don't you care?
I saw you there
With your blue-blond hair
Your lipstick stare
