lyrics

Aurora F, walking down the aisles the aisles the aisle,
A pancake breakfast with grease on the sly,
Once remembered, she'll forget on the fly
The runs in her stockings under stars in the South,
Run in her family like the spork in her mouth.
No lights in the sky tonight, no lights in the sky for
Way out in the sky tonight, she was a-lookin' out there, yeah.
 
Swinging from the grape vine, olive oil nightgown behind the garage.
Yeah, I saw that dream come a walkin',
pinned to her dress like a cheap corsage.
No potatoes after 10, she's dancin' on the river Seine,
Knockin' on the gates of Hell,
I know I wanna leave I can't remember when.
 
Hanging from the clothesline, eligible bachelors taking off for departure
Sentenced to the firing squad, winds too strong for a last cigarette
(pulling at their cufflinks for all they're worth)
With a whole lotta midnight ascension,
into air towards the end of the Earth.
 
Alone asleep in her bed, a halogen halo above her head,
Dismal, astounding in red,
this town's too small for the dreams in my head.
 
Crunch-dry and I'm shakin the lock,
In the noose, does a half gainer off of the lunch clock
Lookin up at one more chime
She always seems to wake up -- this time.
 
Aurora F, walking down the aisle and all the while.
No lights in the sky tonight, no lights in the sky for
Way out in the sky tonight, she's was looking out there, yeah.
There's nothing up there, there's nothing out there.
