The Lineup

Russian girl
You've done this before
You never give more than you take
Awkward legs
Shifting her weight
Chunky heels to make a quick escape

Trying to look pretty
And compliant
Hope you'll pick me
I'll be quiet
Lying like you like it
It's the smoke, no I'm not crying

You
You can buy love in the lineup
Who will you choose
Did my makeup
Put on perfume
Just for you
Where the girls are young
And they're all lined up
You
Karaoke club
In the lineup

9pm
White mini van
The parking lot beside Denny's
I'm just like them
We're paying the rent
The door slides open for me

Trying to look pretty
And compliant
Hope you'll pick me
I'll be quiet
Lying like you like it
It's the smoke, no I'm not crying

You
You can buy love in the lineup
Who will you choose
Did my makeup
Put on perfume
Just for you
Where the girls are young
And they're all lined up
You
Karaoke club
In the lineup
Lineup

Stood in that line
Time after time
No rules and no guarantees
