Elegant Mess
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Baby's got all the answers
Even when nobody asked
And stayin' front and center
Now that ain't no part time task
An unfreed slave to fashion
Up against midnight again
A Cinderella wannabe
Wonderin' what, where and when...
And she's all about the misdirection
All about the acid test
Chasing the fame like a moth to flame
What we got here darlin'
Is just an elegant mess...
Baby knows how to use it
She's gonna freeze ya
With that little girl smile
She's gonna take you up the mountain
Leave you there after awhile
Gettin' high on the sound
Of her own voice
Dropping names like she's leaving a trail
She thinks it's all about that
But that ship done sailed...
And she's all about the misdirection
All about the acid test
Chasing the fame like a moth to flame
What we got here darlin'
Is just an elegant mess...
And I don't know who she thinks
She's fooling
Who she's gonna try and blame
She's just another one in a long long line
Talking a real good game...
And she's all about the misdirection
All about the acid test
Chasing the fame like a moth to flame
What we got here darlin'
Is just an elegant mess...
Baby what we got here is just an elegant mess...
