Cavalier

[Verse 1] She was a live wire, she was stuck in the past I was holding the middle, you was waking up fast It was four in the morning, she's holding on tight To a David Bowie lookalike, circa '85 [Verse 2] Now he's turning up his amplifier, staring at his toes Even when he's looking at you, he's still looking down his nose Sounds like surf music maybe more than just a little But to me it's just another form of California dribble Keep the top and bottom straight and keep it shaky in the middle [Chorus] Well there's something to be learned here Though it may seem a little insincere Like a cruel clown grinning ear to ear You're a country singer, I'm a cavalier [Verse 3] Well I wanna know the whole story over Where you came from, where you going However long it takes to know you With your heavy metal heartbeat Salty but you seem sweet Tippy toes on both feet Rockin' to the teen beat [Verse 4] Well, ice cream, soda pop, bourbon on top Some people call it rock and roll, and some people call it pop Sounds like country music every time you use a fiddle How am I supposed to know if that's a fact or just a riddle? Keep tight around the edges, leave a little room to wiggle [Chorus] Well there's something to be learned here Though it may seem a little insincere Like a cruel clown grinning ear to ear You're a country singer, I'm a cavalier Oh [Chorus] Well there's something to be learned here Though it may seem a little insincere Like a cruel clown grinning ear to ear You're a psycho killer, I'm a cavalier
