Melissa

[Verse 1] Soulful sweet sky blue jeans A golden haired girl with romantic dreams All alone inside her head she sleeps The western scenes of the rodeo queens Nights of isles on shining steeps In a mind to quell the violent screams [Chorus 1] And the jig is up in this lonesome town When the lights go out and we wander around Until we find a way to disappear And I'm stumbling and I take my seat On a cemetery bench in the summer heat We wait for the priest in the back as I whisper in you ear Melissa, I listen Melissa, we're gonna get away Melissa, I listen Melissa, together we'll find a way [Verse 2] Sunday school books and haunted nooks Heavy eyed judgmental looks All alone we go against the grain We believe in God We believe in faith We believe in hope even when it rains Never fit with the plans of empty pain [Chorus 2] And the jig is up in this lonesome town When the lights go out and we wander around Until we find a way to disappear And I'm stumbling and I take my seat On a cemetery bench in the summer heat We wait for the priest in the back as I whisper in you ear Melissa, I listen Melissa, we're gonna get away Melissa, I listen Melissa, together we'll find a way
