You Me & Iowa - Runways & Freeways

This town has imaginary spotlights,
And everyone thinks that they’re center stage,
I’m an actor gonna make it as a film star,
Or better yet, maybe I’ll play the guitar…
I know she’s been sleeping around,
Cause that’s not my name on the marquee,
I thought I was her golden boy,
She said, «I never promised anything»
She said I promised nothing, nothing, nothing…
And maybe you like what I’ve got to say,
I’ll twirl around you, and curtsey on your command,
And maybe I’d learn to like it that way,
Kinda kinky… Kinda cheap, like I could be your best investment around,
If you just take the time to listen,
You’ve got offers all over this town,
So I will make this short and sweet!
I will make this short and sweet!
(nothing, nothing)
This town has imaginary spotlights,
So shake that ass and maybe someone will see,
Fuck art, you can save it for the late night… PBS!
Dance if you want to if it makes it better,
Shake shake what you’ve got to forget why you came here,
No, I’m not happy with anything less,
Than all that you’ve got come kill me Los Angeles!
Dance if you want to if it makes it better,
Shake shake what you’ve got to forget why you came here,
No, I’m not happy with anything less,
Than all that you’ve got come kill me Los Angeles!
C’mon take off your night things!
C’mon take off your night things!
Lose heart, lose heart, live out the longer life…
Lose heart, lose heart, live out the longer life…
(C’mon take off your night things!)
Lose heart, lose heart, live out the longer life…
Lose heart, lose heart…
