Erecting A Movie Star Lyrics - Liz Phair

Take off your right hand 

'Cause you don't use it a lot 

In dreams you're so scared 

But so what? 

At the wrecking ball 

Your eyes were open 

You had them flown in at birth 

Your skin is hempen 

And tre's dearth 

Erecting a movie star 

I saw you there 

You had your lover so fair in your heart 

Arrived in really bloody make-up and scarf 

I caught your breath 

You are the flower sewn into the bar 

But what we're trying hard to make is a stem 

It's self sale art 

Take off your right hand 

'Cause you don't use it a lot 

Your dreams are so scant 

But so what? 

You're a pecking doll 

Who red lips the Coolliard's "Joshua" 

Who just missed the Murder Car dopey dance 

From baby to baby to motel bar playbacks 

Saw you there 

You had your lover, a feather, in arm 

Berated kisses in the wake of the smarm 

Just bobbing there 

Your partner spilled up the stairs to the bar 

Which is a really small estate on a farm 

Well don't you care? 

I saw you there 

With your blue-blonde hair 

Your lipstick stare
