Reverend Horton Heat - Starlight Lounge lyrics

French fried shoe strings

on a drunken cellar door.

If these walls could talk,

I'd listen to the floor.

The bar stools proppin' up

a twenty dollar whore,

recantin' recitations from

a lonesome tale of yore

for a while...

At the Starlight Lounge...

At the Starlight Lounge...

I see a place where something's

happened every day for twenty years,

and the people think it's special

'cause they drown in their beers.

The special on the menu

is the balls of a steer.

This is only one place

to escape from your fears

for a while...

At the Starlight Lounge...

The Starlight Lounge...

Yeah, the Starlight Lounge

is a happy little place.

A really fun place where

you can lose your face.

And all of my friends

including me are insane.

It's a little hide-a-way

to hide away from the pain.

yeah!

And if my friends,

were by my side.

They still couldn't see,

couldn't see inside.

The bartender just

lets my tab slide.

Who's takin' who here

for a ride

for a while...

At the Starlight Lounge...

The Starlight Lounge...

At the Starlight Lounge...

The Starlight Lounge...
