Lyrics Harvey Danger – Sad Sweetheart Of The Rodeo
Text:
Not another existential cowboy,
And no more «California champagne».
Not another saddle tramp —
Sick, sore, lonely, and out of place,
Edith cannot fix another engine,
Nor paint another face on a rubbercan clown (woo woo woo).
She takes another temp job,
But in her secret heart she rides!
She’s just a sad sweetheart of the rodeo (awooooo-ooooo)
Not an urban legend now
Sad sweetheart of the rodeo (awooooo-ooooo).
Give it a rest, give it a rest, give it a bad night’s sleep.
Norman says that you should take a Valium
(or maybe something stronger)
‘Cause he doesn’t understand, uh,
How you get so excited watching «the lusty men».
«The Marlboro man died of cancer
And he wasn’t a rocket scientist when he was healthy.» ha ha ha.
She took one last gulp of soft city condescension
And blasted off from his little launch pad to parts west.
Sad sweetheart of the rodeo (awooooo-ooooo)
Not an urban legend now
Sad sweetheart of the rodeo (awooooo-ooooo).
(lonesome cowboy Bill, where are you?)
(wooo-ooo-ooo)
Sad sweetheart of the rodeo (awooooo-ooooo)
Not an urban legend now
Sad sweetheart of the rodeo (awooooo-ooooo).
(Awoooo-ooooo-oooo-ooo-ooo)
