Housewife Dreams Of America

[00:21.11] Meet me in the middle, babe
[00:25.64] Promise not to misbehave
[00:29.48] You rip me from my centre fold
[00:33.05] Yeah, your mouth is warm, but your words are cold
[00:38.23] Looking through the whiskey glass
[00:42.63] Stepping over all the cracks
[00:46.99] Empty promise in your hands
[00:50.30] Tell me, "Nothing, good girl, ever lasts"
[00:56.41] Here we are, standing in the quicksand
[01:00.74] Smother me softly with a slow dance
[01:04.16] Housewife dreams of America
[01:08.47] One more sip and I'm giving up (ah)
[01:21.40] What have you got if your God is money?
[01:25.83] (What have you got if your God is money?)
[01:29.98] How do you pray on your knees every Sunday?
[01:38.28] Building a house that you're never gonna live in
[01:46.86] Tryna get your kicks but your heart's not in it, oh
[01:53.33] (Heart's not in it)
[01:56.43] Here we are, standing in the quicksand
[02:00.75] Smother me softly with a slow dance
[02:03.98] Housewife dreams of America
[02:08.35] One more sip and I'm giving up, oh
[02:13.80] Here we are, standing in the quicksand
[02:17.88] Smother me softly with a slow dance
[02:21.23] Housewife dreams of America
[02:25.56] One more sip and I'm giving up
[02:30.70] What in the world could I do?
[02:35.88] Whoever might I be?
[02:41.29] I'm at the periphery
[02:45.42] Of my strange whims
[02:49.57] Yet I won't win, oh
[03:03.90] Housewife dreams of America
[03:08.46] One more sip and I'm giving up, oh
[03:13.55] Day and night talking to the phone line
[03:18.06] Praying some God will get me outside
[03:21.87] Hard stuff in my coffee cup
