Blue Eyeshadow from Bucksport Motel by Milan McAlevey

September come early
We'd all go to the county fair
Rock and roll roach clips, white fringe
And bleached blonde hair

Maybe tonight I'll see you
At the demolition derby
Or maybe you'll meet some strange dudes
Down in the midway

Blue eyeshadow
Tells me you are gentle
You look real tough
But you act so shy

Blue eyeshadow
Blazing brighter than those flood lights
Still I see a sadness
About your eyes

Have you ever tried
A ride called the rock and roll?
It goes round and round til you feel drunk
And out of control

Up in the stands I watch the cars
Smash to smithereens
You were growing up
I was still living in a child's dream

Blue eyeshadow
Tells me you are gentle
You look real tough
But you act so shy

Blue eyeshadow
Got me more dizzy than a tilt-a-whirl
Still I see a sadness
About your eyes
Still I see a sadness
About your eyes
