Karen-Ann was a dancer Driving 'round the country In an old volkswagon Living from town to town Living from town to town Chicago to New Orleans Tulsa to Omaha Late 60's America In the days before it all went wrong In the days before it all went to hell Karen-Ann was a dancer Stagename Scarlett O'Hara With a pair of false eyelashes She burned the city down She burned Atlanta to the ground Yes, Karen-Ann she was a dancer With two cats, a husband and a baby Parading down the backstreets In a blond wig full of dreams In a blond wig full of dreams Collecting the cash No tricks just flash "Hey, don't consider me brash," she said With a flick of a false eyelash Now she teaches piano In a bungaloo by a river She shivers as the sun goes down On a retired Florida town On a retired Florida town But deep inside she's still dancing Up on stage wearing nothing Except a circle of light And a pair of false eyelashes |
