Wig in a Box
On nights like this,

when the world's amiss









And the lights go down across the trailer park




I get down

I feel had

Feel on the verge of going mad

Until it's time to punch the clock

Put on some makeup

Turn up the tape deck



And pull the wig down on my head

Suddenly, I'm Miss Mid-West Midnight check out queen

Until I head home and I put myself to bed


I look back at where I'm from

Look at the woman I've become

And the strangest things

Seem suddenly routine


I look up from my vermouth on the rocks.

A gift wrapped wig still in the box

Of towering velvetine

Put on some makeup

and some Laverne Baker

And pull the wig down from the shelf

Suddenly, I'm Miss Beehive 1963





Until I wake up and I turn back to myself



Some girls they got natural ease
They wear it anyway they please
With their French flipped curls

And perfumed magazines
Wear it up, Let it let it down

This is the best way that I've found
To be the best you'll ever see



I put on some makeup

Turn up the 8 track

I'm pulling the wig down from the shelf

Suddenly, I'm Miss Farah Fawcett from tv






Until I wake up and I turn back to myself












Shag, bi-level, Bob, Dorothy Hamil Do
Sausage curls, chicken wings, it's all because of you
Blow dry, feather back, Toni home wave, too
Flip, fro, frizz, flop, it's all because of you
It's all because of you
It's all because of you



Suddenly, I'm Miss Punk Rock star!

stage!

screen!




And I ain't never

Never going back!
