The Million You Never Made

Lyrics for The Million You Never Made

The air comes off the ocean And the city smells fishy The air is full of fish and mystery Whispering," who, what, when" And I'm warning you, I'm weightless And the wind is always shifting So don't hang anything on me If you ever want to see it again Yeah, I'm telling you I'm different than you Think I am And you can dangle your carrot But I ain't gonna reach for it 'Cause I need both my hands To play my guitar And life is a sleezy stranger Who looks vaguely familiar Flirting with a bimbo named disaster At the end of the bar And I'm telling you I'm different Than you are And at night when you're asleep Self-hatred's gonna creep in And you can blame it on the devil And the one whoes bed you sleep in And don't tell me what they did to you As though you had no choice Tell me, isn't that your picture? Isn't that your voice? If you don't live what you sing about Your mirror is gonna find out Yeah, I'd like to go to all the pretty parties Where all the pretty people go And I ain't really all that pretty But nobody will know 'Cause everybody loves you When you're a star And nobody questions What it takes to go that far Yeah, life is a sleazy stranger And this is his favorite bar And, no, I don't prefer obscurity But I'm an idealistic girl And I wouldn't work for you No matter what you paid And I may not be able To change the whole fucking world But I could be the million that you never made Yeah, I could be the million that you'll never make I could be the million that you never made I could be the million that you never made I could be the million that you never made I could be the million that you never made I could be the million that you never made Yeah, I could be the million that you never made Yeah, I could be the million that you never made You're looking at the million that you'll never make You're looking at the million that you'll never make You are looking at the million that you'll never make
