Dorothy

Dorothy's blue dress smells like cigarettes and whiskey And her ruby that (?) her dog from walking the floor Well she tells me that she'll show me what she's hiding If only for a small fee She takes my money and says you're not in Kansas anymore Well I found her in the lounge hanging out with all the aging swingers While she worked those hips into a fever swaying to and fro Well they say she was an actress and a dancer and a pretty good singer But I said that had to be damned near thirty five years ago Oh no Oh Dorothy is this the woman that you want to be Or is it just the state of pergatory 'Til a twisted comes and blows you down Oh oh Dorothy why'd you let this emerald city Pave over yellow bricks with their concrete And gets you all twisting 'round You'll never leave this town Well she once was a girl now her autumn colored curls have turned to silver And at the bottom of the bottle you know she's still dying of thirst And it's that bottle or a pistol from a stranger that will probably kill her But if she'd only have the heart or the brains or the courage maybe she'd shoot first Oh that's worse Oh Dorothy is this the woman that you want to be Or is it just the state of pergatory 'Til a twisted comes and blows you down Oh oh Dorothy why'd you let this emerald city Pave over yellow bricks with their concrete And gets you all twisting 'round You'll never leave this town Over the rainbow lies a life that never was Is it shame that brought you to this state Or would you say it's just because Did that man behind his curtain find his ways to pull your strings Did that great and powerfull so and so ever really give you anything Oh Dorothy is this the woman that you want to be Or is it just the state of pergatory 'Til a twisted comes and blows you down Oh oh Dorothy why'd you let this emerald city Pave over yellow bricks with their concrete And gets you all twisting 'round You'll never leave this town
