Wig in a Box
On nights, like this
When the worlds a bit amiss
And the lights go down
Across the trailer park
I get down, I feel had
Feel on the verge of going mad
And then it's time to punch the clock

I put on some make-up
Turn on the tape deck
And put the wig back on my head
Suddenly I'm Miss Midwest Minight checkout the queen
Until I head home
And I put myself to bed

Ii look back on where I'm from
Look at the woman I've become
And the strangest things seem suddenly routine
I look up from my vermouth on the rocks
The gift wrapped wig still in the box
Of towering velveteen

I put on some make-up
Some LaVern Baker
I'm pulling the wig down form the shelf
Suddenly I'm Miss Behive 1963
Until I wake up
And I turn back to myself

Some girls they got natural ease
They wear it any way they please
With their french flip curls
And perfume magazines
Wear it up, let it down
This is the besy way that I found
To be the best you've ever seen

I put on some make-up (oh oh)
Turn on the 8-track
I'm pulling the wig down form the shelf
Suddenly I'm Miss. Farrah Fawcett from TV
Uuntil I wake up
And I turn back to myself

Shag bi-level Bob
Dorothy Hamill do
Sausage curl, chicken wings
It's all becasue of you
With your blow dried feather backed
Toni home wave too
Flip, Flow, Fizz, Flop
It's all because of you
It's all because of you

(okay everybody)

I put on some make-up
Turn on the 8 track
I'm pulling the wig down from the shelf

Suddenly I'm this punk rock star
Of Stange and screen and Ii ain't ever
I'm never turning back
