Lyrics
One Track Mind
Rubber burns on Sunset beneath the blistering sky
The sweetest of sweat drips from her neck as the traffic inches by
A guy says "Let's go kid, let's make this real quick."
And he leads her past the tourists and the working girls
Through the smog and the smoke and the thick
She pulls lipstick from her pocket
A little powder for her shine
A quick glance in the mirror
What she wouldn't give for a taste of some wine
She's beautiful she's flawed and she's fine
She's make a few dollars if you'd just give her time
Give her time
Giver her time
She'll lay her body (heart) and soul on the line
Cause tonight
She's got a One Track Mind
The stage never looked this big from her TV set back home
But she steps into the light and plugs in her guitar
Like it's all she's ever known
And the man in the beard in the 18th row looks up from his toupee
And a voice in the house says" We're ready for you now let's hear what you can play."
And she smiles at the fever and she grins in such delight and growls at all the cynics
She screams and she fights
Chorus
From that little corner that bleeds inside her head
Comes a symphony from her fingers that could wake the living dead
She's tired of all the users and the deals made in the dark
And she's sick of all the bastards that suck the blood from her guitar
Cause they lie and they lie and they lie..... oh how they lie
The chorus ebbs and the melody does flow
Time stands still for a moment as he shimmers in her glow
But all that he can manage when she gets to the final phrase
Is a nervous little smile and a 'Thank you, we'll call you in a couple days."
She's beautiful yes she's beautiful she's just fine
She'll make you a million dollars man if you would just give her time
Give her time
Give her time
She'll lay her heart and soul on the line
Cause this girl
She's got a One Track Mind
