Tonya Harding (in Eb Major) Lyrics - Sufjan Stevens

Tonya Harding, my star 

Well this world is a cold one 

But it takes one to know one 

And God only knows what you are 

Just some Portland white trash 

You confronted your sorrow 

Like there was no tomorrow 

While the rest of the world only laughed 

Triple axel on high 

A delightful disaster 

You jumped farther and faster 

You were always so full of surprises 

Are your laces untied? 

What's the frown on your face for? 

And just what are the skates for now? 

Tell me which is your good side?

Are you lonely at night? 

Do you miss all the glory 

And the mythical story 

Of the Olympian life? 

Yamaguchi in red 

She had high rise and roses 

And red-carpet poses 

And her outfit was splendid 

Nancy Kerrigan's charm 

Well she took quite a beating 

So you're not above cheating 

Can you blame her for crying? 

Tonya, you were the brightest 

Yeah you rose from the ashes 

And survived all the crashes 

Wiping the blood from your white tights 

Photos 

Has the world had its fun? 

Yeah they'll make such a hassle 

And they'll build you a castle 

Then destroy it when they're done 

Tonya Harding, my friend 

Well this world is a bitch, girl 

Don't end up in a ditch, girl 

I'll be watching you close to the end 

So fight on as you are 

My American princess 

May God bless you with incense 

You're my shining American star 

You're my shining American star 

You're my shining American star
