TV Girl Lyrics

[Verse 1]
My hair won't fall out, though I may go gray
I may forgive but I won't admit
That any hope it was sunken yet
Beauty faded or flowers dead
Maybe the sun was aligned but the moon was wrong
And stars don't lie but they do reflect
They do neglect sometimes to tell the whole truth, baby

[Chorus]
There ain't no check within your mailbox
So don't go changing with the times
There ain't no Kool-Aid in your poison anymore
There ain't no comfort in the bottle
For a grape upon a vine

[Post-Chorus]
(You can't shove it out)
(You can't shove it out)
(You can't shove it out)
(You can't shove it out)

[Verse 2]
(Even though) And even though we were too young to know
If lovers loved like us before
We can let it slide and both agree
It was only you and me
And I may give up, though I won't concede
But it isn't fate that shakes the trees
It's the ancient forces of boredom and lust and greed, now baby

[Chorus]
Ooh, there ain't no check within your mailbox
There's too much sand upon the slide
There ain't no mirrors in this funhouse anymore
There ain't no comfort in the bottle
For a grape upon a vine

[Post-Chorus]
(You can't shove it out)
(You can't shove it out)
(You can't shove it out)
(You can't shove it out)
(Said you'd go)

[Intro]
And right now, baby, it's alive

[Verse 1]
Count up the angels and then how many died
And how many heads they had to step all over just to get inside
But it's alright
I said, "It's alright"
You counted cards, you cut the deck, but they rig the game
Still I would hold you tightly to my chest and I'd show no shame
No shame
I'd do it all again

[Chorus]
And I just wonder sometimes
If heaven's over our heads

[Verse 2]
But I had some fun and I made some love in exotic places
Though I may have forgotten some names, I recall the faces
In my dreams
Out of reach
And I brokе some promises and refusеd to make amends
And I had my heart broke seven times and I lost some friends
But it's alright
What's the matter in the end?

[Chorus]
And I just wonder sometimes
If heaven's over our heads
And I just wonder sometimes
If heaven's over our heads

[Bridge]
I want it to shine on me
All over me
Even in my troubled soul
I want it to shine on me

[Verse 3]
Why must we struggle so as we try to do what's right?
Just a bunch of cockroaches just a-runnin' from the light
From the light
Shines upon our heads
And I may be stupid and I may be selfish and I may be wrong
But still, it's such a short time you were here
And such a long time you'll be gone
Scattered to the wind

[Outro]
And I just wonder sometimes
I just wonder sometimes
I just wonder sometimes
If heaven's over our heads
