lyrics

all she ever wanted was a bashful star
he was only ever able to get so far
she was so excited she could hardly stay awake
held the scalpel to his heart and her hand didn't shake
the bedrock spelled it out all about that old godsend
who took the scenic route to a dead end

all she ever cared for was a shining stooge
got what she prayed for now her debt is huge
yes i see her troubles are just like mine
the tears burn worse than turpentine
the bedrock spelled it out all about that old godsend
who took the scenic route to a dead end

a nomadic fixture now revealed
to be drifting even further a-field
nailed to the wall like an empty frame
a storm cloud rider who never came

all she ever loved was a driving mist
he was the only one who seemed to exist
and after all the false alarms she tripped
he was rambling in his sleep and her name just slipped
the bedrock spelled it out all about that old godsend
who took the scenic route to a dead end
