Savannah Got Screwed

by Thomas Anderson

from the album Heaven

Under the disco moon

A garden was in bloom,

Where they wore their skin

Like another set of clothes.

Make-shift studio,

Shooting straight to video,

Cellophane wrap

And a barcode on your soul.

And all the girls look alike

Blonde as iridium, hard and bright;

But oh baby, baby, just what happened to you,

O what happened to you?

Savannah got screwed.

A million lonely rooms,

A blue light in the gloom,

You've heard it said

Blessed are the meek.

I never had no fear

I would not find you here

Dancing where the stars

Are under your feet.

Traci and Chasey and all that scene,

Silicone flesh and Freudian dreams;

And Jenna made a fortune but oh what happened to you,

And does it matter to you?

Savannah got screwed.

Under the disco moon,

A blue light in the gloom,

You've heard it said

Blessed are the meek....
