Victoria (a.k.a. Victoria Lee) Lyrics - Old 97's

This is the story of Victoria Lee 

She started off on Percodan and ended up with me 

She lived in Berkeley 'til the earthquake shook her loose 

She lives in Texas now where nothin' ever moves 

Victoria, you talk so low that no one else can hear 

Unless you point your megaphone directly at their ear 

This is the story of Victoria Lee 

She started on Rohypinol and ended up with me 

You'd like to think they're your friends 

But they're not your friends 

And in the end a friend's the one you'll never know 

Oh, don't you know? 

You'd like to think you're groovy, it's your movie 

You see through me, but it's true 

And in the end you'll know 

Victoria, don't go, Victoria, Victoria, don't go 

This is the story of Victoria's heart 

You might think it's stupid but I still think it's art 

She lost her lover to an accident at sea 

She pushed him overboard and ended up with me 

Victoria, you dance so fast that no one else can see 

Victoria, I hope you use just one more dance for me 

This is the story of Victoria's heart 

It's a really big one, and I don't know where to start 

(Occasionally used on early versions of, 'Victoria Lee') 

You'd like to think they're your friends 

But they're not your friends 

And in the end a friend's the one you'll never know 

Oh, don't you know? 

You'd like to think you're groovy, it's your movie 

You see through me but it's true 

And in the end you'll know 

Victoria, don't go, Victoria, Victoria, don't go
