Maybe You Tried Lyrics - Pretty Things

Sweet miranda, on the veranda 

You really keep your ice-cream cold 

Mine's melting in my hand, 

I don't understand, 

I guess you never could have been told. 

You want to be a star 

Yes you are. 

Driving back home from my venture 

I'm really feeling empty handed 

Hand's on my stick 

It's making me sick 

Why did you leave me out in the cold. 

You want to be a star 

Yes you are. 

Maybe you tried but you missed it 

Maybe you tried it again 

Maybe you tried but you missed it 

Long goodbye. 

Thought my viper would excite her 

Believing what the good book had told 

I showed her my pet 

She phoned for the vet 

Then killed it with a mean strangle hold. 

You want to be a star 

Yes you are. 

Maybe you tried but you missed it 

Maybe you tried it again 

Maybe you tried but you missed it 

Long goodbye. 

You got me running girl 

I'm an astronaut 

But I just seem to burst in flame 

You got me running girl 

I'm a laid-back tiger but I'm never tame. 

Little queeny have you seen me 

I'm waiting every night at ten 

Hands on your hips 

Blood on your lips 

I make it but I just don't know when.
