Indigo Girls - Beauty Queen Sister lyrics

Everybody loves the beauty queen sister But she always got the broken heart 'Cause she work hard to keep what God gave her But the devil he's just pulling it apart Hang on tight Hang on tight now Mama's got a friend name Monkeyman With a two-seater bike And a tattoo stand He's gonna take me for that ride He knows I've been losing ground most of my life Hang on tight Hang on tight now Daddy prayed so hard That Jesus came down and took him Left me speaking in tongues And hungry for something So I fed the family, I changed out the sparks But every day I gained, another fell apart Hang on tight now Hey little sister, I dig it okay Looking for the fountain of love Where the wild heart reigns And the knife draws blood And beauty is redeemed But Cherry and Dallas won't ever be the same Pony watched Johnny die nothing gold can stay And those street kids and beauty queens They don't stand a chance So hang on tight... Monkeyman says draw your picture Give it some ink, hear the needle whisper For all the broken hearts and the pa**ing fancies Pull the inside out, when you can Hang on tight Hang on tight now
