Lyrics:
Empty conversation
beneath the neon lights
A lot of useless information
up from the barroom floor tonight
Call me what you like,
I'll never be your pretty little thing
Cut me down with all the mean you got,
I'll never be your pretty little thing
I remember talk around the table
when the heroes all were hungry
Situations change and now they sit,
they sit spiritless and lonely
I saw you up there once
You were arrogant and limitless
Is this what you traded in,
all your innocence for bitterness?
And I watch the fancy girls take off their clothes
I watch the fancy girls take off all their clothes
That's what their mama's taught 'em, I suppose
I'll never be, I'll never be your pretty, little thing
What's past is past my darlin', now it's gone
and the details do not matter
We are the ghosts who ceaselessly move on
humbled, cooled and shattered
Call me what you like
I'll never be your pretty little thing
I'm too proud and scarred
to ever be your pretty little thing
Empty conversation
beneath the neon lights
A lot of useless information
up from the barroom floor tonight
Call me what you like,
I'll never be your pretty little thing
Cut me down with all the mean you got,
I'll never be your pretty little thing
I remember talk around the table
when the heroes all were hungry
Situations change and now they sit,
they sit spiritless and lonely
I saw you up there once
You were arrogant and limitless
Is this what you traded in,
all your innocence for bitterness?
And I watch the fancy girls take off their clothes
I watch the fancy girls take off all their clothes
That's what their mama's taught 'em, I suppose
I'll never be, I'll never be your pretty, little thing
What's past is past my darlin', now it's gone
and the details do not matter
We are the ghosts who ceaselessly move on
humbled, cooled and shattered
Call me what you like
I'll never be your pretty little thing
I'm too proud and scarred
to ever be your pretty little thing
