lyrics

Will they catch her in a lie?
She goes by Nancy, sometimes George
Even pseudonyms get old
They get old
So old
She wants to go public
Put the letters together
They might just catch her in her lie
She’s running from streetlights
----------
A life she's concocted
A pen name in faded pencil
She’s really a light ray
----------
A magnifying glass
Starts a fire in the grass
The sound of her footsteps
In a dress and smoking jacket
It’s nighttime in Prague
Or maybe somewhere in France
----------
Running from streetlights
Hiding in coats and big black boots
Will they catch her in a lie?
----------
Are there records of her life?
Closet files or trash can notes
All this running can get old
It gets old
So old
You’d better go public
Put the letters together
They might just catch you in the sky
You’re hiding from spotlights
----------
They’ll look under the glass
And cars will stop that pass
A magnifying glass
Starts a fire in the grass
----------
A magnifying glass
Starts a fire in the grass
The sound of her footsteps
In a dress and smoking jacket
It’s nighttime in Prague
Or maybe somewhere in France
----------
Running from streetlights
Hiding in coats and big black boots
Will they catch her in a lie?
She goes by Nancy, sometimes George
Even pseudonyms get old
They get old
Hey Nancy, hey George
Is your name Nancy or George?
----------
Even pseudonyms get old
