The Million You Never Made

the air comes off the ocean the city smells fishy the air is full of fish and mystery whispering who, what, when I am warning you I am weightless and the wind is always shifting so don`t hang anything on me if you ever want to see it again I am telling you I`m different than you think I am and you can dangle your carrot but I ain`t gunna reach for it cuz I need both my hands to play my guitar and life is a sleezy stranger who looks vaguely familiar flirting with a bimbo named disaster at the end of the bar and I am telling you that I am different than you are at night when you`re asleep self-hatred`s going to creep in and try to blame it on the devil the one who`s bed you sleep in and don`t tell me what they did to you as though you had no choice tell me, isn`t that your picture? isn`t that your voice? if you don`t live what you sing about your mirror is going to find out oh yeah I`d like to go to all the pretty parties where all the pretty people go and I ain`t really all that pretty but nobody will know cuz everybody loves you when you`re a star and nobody questions what it takes to go that far and life is a sleazy stranger and this is his favorite bar no I don`t prefer obscurity but I`m an idealistic girl and I wouldn`t work for you no matter what you paid and I may not be able to change the whole fucking world but I could be the million that you never made oh yeah I could be the million that you never made I could be the million that you`ll never make You`re looking at the million that you`ll never make
