On the Strip

[Verse 1]

Every time you look my way

You show a lie in what you say

Every time you look my way

You talk a rhyme called purple haze

[Chorus]

Close your eyes and pretend

You're not at all like then

[Verse 2]

The smartest girl out on the strip

You really know just how to be hip

Tellin' stories 'bout your crazy trip

Messin' with stars and doing tricks

[Chorus]

Close your eyes and pretend

It's not at all like then

[Verse 3]

Big glass house on the hill

Doing dope and ditchin' school

Yesterday, Bruce Barry was here

A wild kid I thought was cool

[Chorus]

Close your eyes and pretend

This is how it should end

[Verse 4]

Cinderella of the night

Doesn't know her left from right

She's so hungry for a bite

Forgetting her friends fork and knife

Don't you know who's keeping score?

Who's that barking at your door?

[Bridge]

Hold tight and fear a little bit

Hold tight and fear a little bit

Hold tight and fear a little bit

Hold tight and fear

That was then, this is not

Hold tight and fear a little bit

Hold tight and fear a little bit

Hold tight and fear a little bit

Hold tight and fear

That was then, this is not

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 5]

Every time you look my way

Remember a girl who used to say

Hold me tight anyway

It's okay, it's only play

[Outro]

I remember in the dark

Where I came from for a lark
