Jewel Last Dance Rodeo Lyrics:
Your lungs fill up with concrete
Her voice is all you can hear
Red lips and a screwdriver
Wrapped around some mink-clad queer
And you know that she's no diamond
In this damned jukebox hell
'Cause fools gold only fools fools
In two-bit hotels.
But she's cooler than all that
She's a real high-class cat
She's queen of the last dance rodeo.
But under the gas lamp
The air is thick and velvety
Your bones fill with hunger
Your heart fills with longing
You're no longer human
You're an insatiable hole.
You wanna bury your face forever
In the navel of her soul
'Cause you know ...
All you need is a heart to call home
All you need is a heart to call home
That's all.
Light bulbs, and nylons
And plastic chandeliers
Objects are only objects,
They can't feel when you're near.
But tangerine lips
And lily-white breasts;
These things are eternal
Inside them humanity rests.
Her skin is like a seashell
You listen to her soul
Like an old-time radio show.
But under the gas lamp
[ Find more Lyrics on http://mp3lyrics.org/82w ]The air is thick and velvety
Your bones fill with hunger
Your heart fills with longing
You're no longer human
You're an insatiable hole.
You wanna bury your face forever
In the navel of her soul
'Cause you know ...
All you need is a heart to call home.
All you need is a heart to call home.
That's all.
But don't wander too far
On one constant star
Darkness exists, except where you are
Your feet are filled with wandering
They follow your own
'Cause everywhere you are
Feels like home.
So search all you miners,
You hunters of dreams
Look in the alleyways
For what you know is not what it seems
And feign, all you maidens,
But don't resist too long
Least you look behind you
And see your own shadow's gone
Don't you know it's the last rodeo?
You gotta find yourself a cowboy
Or someone to keep you
Warm when it's cold.
'Cause under the gas lamp
The air is thick and velvety
Your bones fill with hunger
Your heart fills with longing
You're no longer human
You're an insatiable hole.
You wanna bury your face forever
In the navel of her soul
'Cause you know ...
All you need is a heart to call home
All you need is a heart to call home
All you need is a heart to call home
That's all.
