Fireworks & Fashion Shows

It’s a disease

Of despair

I believe

It’s everywhere

Laid to rest

In a private show

A handmade dress

Your chariots swinging’ lower and low

The Preacher’s gonna cry alone

To old sad songs on the stereo tonight

A champagne wave

With no board to ride

Another red state haze

Petrified

The less I say

The more you lie

Another champagne wave

Another forest is terrorized

The Preacher’s gonna cry alone

To old songs on the stereo tonight

The fireworks and fashion shows

Your book of Queens of Rock & Roll

Living in sin or singing with ghosts

You should have wrote it all down

And sold the rights

Transgender hearts

And a rainbow bridge

To where those hearts

Can live in marital bliss

Well you marched

In the wrong parade

Well the screen goes dark

And your status was overplayed

The Preacher’s gonna cry alone

To old songs on the stereo tonight

The fireworks and fashion shows

Your book of Queens of Rock & Roll

Living in sin or singing with ghosts

You should have wrote it all down

And sold the rights
