newspaper wife þarký sözü

words & music by vonda shepard

sitting here in this dirty bar
watching the trash go by
she´s selling cigarettes and lollipops
she´s got a sparkle in her black eye

she says "maybe my time will come"
maybe my time will come

he said he´d sweep her off her feet
defying all of gravity
well she´d move any bright city
to fill this gaping cavity... she says

i´m a slave in this empty life
diggin´ my grave i´m his newspaper wife

well he must have a very small broom
as she sits in this very large room
maybe it´s just a piece of straw
she says why am i so in awe?

chorus
i´m a slave to this empty life
diggin´ my grave i´m his newspaper wife
i´m ashamed of this meaningless life
diggin´ my grave i´m his newspaper wife

she sits across from him
drinking her coffee
his face is buried in other people´s lives, she says
"i wonder if he´s gonna read forever
i´m his newspaper wife

repeat chorus
