Neko Case Lyrics
"Local Girl"

I pass the light that the young people make
​How joyfully it's wasted
​I feel the weight of the needle's repeat and sigh

​Sang my weight in metric trash
​Tripped the light in Saturn's embrace
​And you'll give up for some local girl while our lights
​Our lights blot out her face
​
​All of you lie about something
​(You know you do, all of you, shame on you, all of you lie)
​You're on a first-name basis
​All of you lie about something
​(You know you do, all of you, shame on you, all of you lie)
​You're on a first-name basis
​
​All of you lie about something
​(You know you do, all of you, shame on you, all of you lie)
​You're on a first-name basis
​All of you lie about something
​(You know you do, all of you, shame on you, all of you lie)
​You're on a first-name basis

​God damn the time, God damn the miles
That take me away from you and change your face
​And change the way I love you
​And change the way I love you
​And changed the way I loved you
​And changed the way I loved you
