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
