Red House Painters New Jersey Lyrics

you're and american girl
red headed eyes blank
living in a freckle on the face of the world
another dying kid that learned too much too soon
you're not as good as your mom
but you're as good as dead
you're as good as dead
new jersey ain't the whole world
which of your shots have sold?
twenty-nine with your child
who doesn't give and eats what's left
of your young soul
another dying spark that burned too fast too soon
you're not as bad as your dad
but you're as good as dead you're as good as dead
new jersey ain't the whole world
don't you leave me out here too long
will you bring me out there?
you're an american girl
out of line in out of time
a cry for the leading role
your bum childhood stole
a mother tires and stuck
in her love-worn bed
you're not as good as your mom
but you're as good as dead
you're as good as dead
new jersey ain't the whole world
don't you leave me out here too long
will you bring me out there?
