Lyrics Big Head Todd And The Monsters – Beauty Queen
Text:
Beauty Queen from Mobile Alabama.
Busted for murder at a K-mart store.
She shot the conductor of a twenty piece orchestra for cheating on her.
Let out the dogs of war.
Got off the bus without a penny on her.
Looking for love that wasn’t gonna last.
She said, “Love is a passionate crime, where only the guilty survive. And the innocent, they fly away.”
Took in two stray dogs and a Scientologist.
Hoping to land a Hollywood score.
Enlarged her breasts after several turned down part requests, sold sunglasses on the Venice sea shore.
Saved up some money to buy a bed and breakfast.
Gave it away to some hard luck case.
Starting over when you should have been a success – Beauty Queen now has some lines on her face.
She said, “Love is a passionate crime, where only the guilty survive. And the innocent, they fly away.”
She headed off for Anchorage Alaska after falling for a small plane pilot.
He was lost at sea on their seventh anniversary.
Called in the coast guard but they couldn’t find him.
But from their nest came two boys and a girl.
The girl plays the field. The boys are married.
Beauty Queen still spins that wheel but she can’t forget about the guilt that she carries.
She said, “Love is a passionate crime, where only the guilty survive. And the innocent should shy away.”
