lyrics

MIRANDA HARVARD

Miranda Harvard was an ex-beauty queen born in 1922
She shook her heels & clicked her head and left the scene
Said “I’ll be coming after you”
Well, 20 days and 30 shots fell to the wind
I left no sweat upon my brow
And after everything, she said “I’d be your friend
But I don’t wanna bother you no-how”

She could burn the house down with one passing glance
I left my will upon her chain
Beneath the face she tried to call a work of chance
There lied the fury of the rain
And when she spoke, the smoke would bellow from her eyes
Just like some Bette Davis stare
And all the while dissolved in countless seas of lies
I never thought I’d find it there

I took my drink and left the bar in such a mess
I should have never driven home
And all the way, I thought about the way she dressed
No, I couldn’t leave it all alone
I turned around and there she stood, between the lines
The way she fell was so sincere
Between the breaths of frigid air and sips of wine
She laughed “I’m getting out of here”

-Summer 1999
