Famous Child from Somewhere Else by Gans Elegans

Famous Child

The bay at night was a hearing aid
When a voice called out your name.

You were a famous child,
We played a dirty game,
Hey, hey, hey, yeah.

Side road ten ends at a haunted house
And a can of pop is sixty-five cents.

You were a famous child,
We played a dirty game,
Hey, hey, hey, yeah.

Thinking ‘bout the upside of an empty heart,
I was a jealous lover before I ever loved.
Sweet Georgina, you were a jewel right from the start,
I was thinking ‘bout me thinking ‘bout you.

Green on grass and the bulls rush in,
With everything to lose and everything to win.

You were a famous child,
We played a dirty game,
Hey, hey, hey, yeah.

Famous Child made it look so easy,
Fastsleeper better wait your turn.
Maybe I’m still taking the long way home
But then again…who cares cause my baby likes to sing along!
