DUSTY ROSES

Trying my best to walk straight in a row
Feeling just like Edgar Allen Poe
And wishing I had someplace good to go
It was election time
Streetlights were out - the bars they were closed
And I'm saying to myself
Elliott , its just not the ending I chose
And the Statue of Liberty
Looks out to sea - says who knows
Maybe tomorrow - maybe tomorrow

And she said: I don't want your dusty roses
I can't stand when you mix beauty with tragedy
And she said: I don't want your Dusty Roses
There's just no place in the life of a girl like me

We could take courses we could brush up on our French
Move to Paris try and live like artists
I was gonna say more and then I forgot all the rest
Sometimes that's better
And even I'm betting bored seeing sunrise
Thinking of everything I'd like to buy
And me and my friends got much too high
But I don't blame them
No, I don't blame them
CHORUS

Just no place in the life a girl like me
Ain't no place in the life of that lady
