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 monkey man
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 monkey man
Says draw your picture give it some ink
Hear the needle whisper for all the broken hearts
And the passing fancies, pull the inside out, when you can
Hang on tight, hang on tight now
