Josh Dodes: Listen

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)
• MP3 play whole song, lo-fi (modem)

The last song on "Freak," a more somber version of the first song on "Get Up." Featuring (as usual) the amazingly talented Adrian Hartley.

She works in her daddy's store with her cornfield dress and her daddy's girl smile
Little blonde sets the local boys on fire
She'll play with 'em, all right
She won't let 'em take her home at night
She'll make up a reason every time

When the day is over
And the sun burns red inside her eyes
She slips from the cornfield dress and
Lets go as the cornfields rise

She spins through the fields at night
With the flower in her hair and the storm in her eyes
She knows they'll never find her there
She spins like a fire in the night, running wild
American angel
She spins till it all comes out and she screams out loud and
No one knows she's there

Boys get drunk on Friday nights
Lying out in their trucks 'neath the porch-street eye
When she passes try to pull it back together
But the liquor never lies
She's waiting on 'em, all right
Like a lamp in the falling light
Can't see the woman so they're never gonna get the girl

When the day is over
And the sun burns red inside her eyes
She slips from the cornfield dress and
Lets go as the cornfields rise

(Chorus)

She wants to write her name in the sky
She wants to break on through to the other side
She wants to bid this Midwestern town goodbye
Sometimes I think
Sometimes I think
She's trying to die
