Versuri Knuckle Down

 
That's just my cowgirl alter-ego 
Riding on her bar room bull 
Dripping with the sweat of irony 
As the cowboys whoop and drool 
Shooting glances at the mirror 
To see if her scar is showing 
She is truly going nowhere tonight 
 
Lecherous old lady wanna-be 
Much too young and shy 
Flailing her whole life 
Just thinking she can teach herself to fly 
Vehement romantic 
Frantic for forever right now 
But forever's going nowhere tonight 
 
Sick of goading her self-loathing 
She thinks, I think I'd better leave 
'Course whiskey makes me smarter 
And I'm happy as can be 
But please excuse me darlin 
It's not you 
It's me 
 
And there's a dusty old dust storm on mars, they say 
So tonight you can't see it too clear 
Still I stood in line to look through their telescope 
Looked like a distant ship light 
As seen from a foggy pier 
And I know that I was warned 
Still it was not what I hoped 
Yes I know that I was warned 
Still it was not what I hoped 
 
I think I'm done gunnin to get closer 
To some imagined bliss 
I gotta knuckle down 
And just be ok with this 
I'm gonna knuckle down 
Just be ok with this 
'Course that star struck girl is already someone I miss 
 
I swear some stuff you just see better from further away 
And I think I communicate best now, the less I say 
And I can't dance if the band can't play 
And the vibe is going nowhere tonight 
 
'Cuz somewhere between Hollywood and its pretty happiness 
And an anguish so infinite it's anybody's guess 
Is a place where people are all teachers 
And this just one long class 
And that ass will get you nowhere tonight 
 
There's a dusty old dust storm on mars they say 
So tonight you can't see it too clear 
Still I stood in line to look through their telescope 
Looked like a distant ship light 
As seen from a foggy pier 
And I know that I was warned 
Still it was not what I hoped 
Yeah I know that I was warned 
Still it was not what I hoped 
 
I think I'm done gunnin to get closer 
To some imagined bliss 
I gotta knuckle down 
Just be ok with this 
Gotta knuckle down 
Just be ok with this 
 
'Course that star struck girl 
Is already someone I miss
