Lyrics John Hiatt – Madonna Road
Text:
Ohs, yeahs, and ai ya yas
Oh girl, yeah, yeah, yeah
He says you almost need a bodyguard
Just to go walking down the boulevard
You try to be so neat but they’re messy when you eat
When they gobble up the street
Those picture-perfect images
Pop another flash bulb and give a kiss
But it’s a clear absurdity, what’s a person supposed to say
Sorry about yesterday, guess that things are just that way
Chorus:
Whoa, Madonna Road
Boys with broken bones out in the night
With secret messages to frightening to decode
Whoa, Madonna Road
Pump a little gas into the cylinder
All these movie lights they must be killin’ her
She’s been livin’ on the take
Waitin for a bigger break
And I’ve seen you on the make
What d’ you think about the earthquake?
Well I don’t wanna shake it up
But move that camera quick before I break it up
You’ve been standin’ in that pose
Now there’s a wound that just been closed
From an apartment of the host
Anybody got a No-Doz
Chorus 2x
Pump a little gas into the cylinder
She’s been livin’ on the take
Waitin for a bigger break
And I’ve seen you on the make
What d’ you think about the earthquake?
Well I don’t wanna shake it up
But move that camera quick before I break it up
You’ve been standin’ in that pose
Now there’s a wound that just been closed
From an apartment of the host
Anybody got a No-Doz
Chorus
I said whoa, Madonna Road
I said whoa, Madonna Road
I said whoa, Madonna Road
Ai yi yi yis
