Mama did her make-up in a terrible hurry

She finally got ready but the boys were gone

There’s a hole in heaven where some sin slips through

D Em

Just close your eyes and dream real steady

Maybe just a little will spill on you

The Dark don’t lie

D

The Dreams come true

G Em D

Old lady rose, lookin’ down her nose

At lonely miss lily hiding in the hall

D Em

Lily’s just praying for the trial to be over

A7 G D

Lady rose just waiting for the ax to fall

Show me off on the way to town

G A7 D

The sky’s still shiny and the earth’s still brown

D Em

Tell the judge I’m ready for the vases

A7 G D

Gonna dance in their faces when the guitar sounds
