[Vers 1] Miss America Slies onto the scene shines like some old dream So far, life's been in kind But you've been wasting time, has that flown through your mind?
[Pre-Chorus 1] And I've been staring at you, darling Sitting back and wondering what the hell you're gonna do When all the force has run the gamut, and you sit back, and dammit Now it's up to you

[Chorus 3] Yes, you with all your jewelry and your high heels on Think your looks are gonna last until the kingdom come And who won't apologize because she's too far gone Dear, still it's you that we're all counting on
[Chorus 4] Yes, you who's always dressing up in preacher's clothes With your index finger wagging with the wind that blows How could your heart be open if the door is closed?
