Liz Phair - Erecting A Movie Star Lyrics

Take off your right hand

'Cause you don't use it a lot

In dreams you're so scared

But so what?

At the wrecking ball



Your eyes were open

You had them flown in at birth

Your skin is hempen

And tre's dearth

Erecting a movie star



I saw you there

You had your lover so fair in your heart

Arrived in really bloody make-up and scarf

I caught your breath

You are the flower sewn into the bar

But what we're trying hard to make is a stem

It's self sale art



Take off your right hand

'Cause you don't use it a lot

Your dreams are so scant

But so what?

You're a pecking doll



Who red lips the Coolliard's "Joshua"

Who just missed the Murder Car dopey dance

From baby to baby to motel bar playbacks



Saw you there

You had your lover, a feather, in arm

Berated kisses in the wake of the smarm

Just bobbing there

Your partner spilled up the stairs to the bar

Which is a really small estate on a farm



Well don't you care?

I saw you there

With your blue-blonde hair

Your lipstick stare
