about

Dirt Cheap Melody - 2012 single by The Trudy

lyrics

She floats so easy like dust on the breeze
She flows with the rivers to the sea
She is so free
She’s got a portrait of passion that never cries
She’s alone & she doesn’t know why
And the poor cow just lies down

The stereo is breathing all her negative feeling
A record collection telling lies of love as perfection
In a life that she’s winging, she’s distractedly singing in her head
A Dirt Cheap Melody

She used to be the only girl in this town
Reduced to kitchen sink drama in yesterday’s gown
She’s waiting tables now
Just to pay the bills
Weaving the dirtcheap melody with autobiographical ills
The thrills and the spills

The stereo is breathing …

The telephone keeps ringing
And she’s constantly singing in her head
