Last Dance Rodeo

[Verse 1]

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 damn jukebox hell

'Cause only fools gold fools fools

In two-bit hotels

But she's cooler than all that

A real high-class cat

Queen of the last dance rodeo

[Chorus]

But under the gas lamp

The air is thick and velveteen

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

[Verse 2]

Lightbulbs 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

[Chorus]

'Cause under the gas lamp

The air is thick and velveteen

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

[Bridge]

Don't wander too far

My one constant star

Darkness exists, except where you are

My feet are filled with wandering

They follow your own

'Cause everywhere you are feels like home

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]

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

Lest you look behind you

And see your own shadow is 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

[Chorus]

'Cause under the gas lamp

The air is thick and velveteen

Your bones fill with hunger

Your heart 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 (Yeah, yeah)

All you need is a heart

(All you need is, all you need is, all you need is)

To call home

Is a heart, that's all

That's all
