Soulful sweet, sky blue jeans
A golden haired girl with romantic dreams
All alone inside her head she sleeps
The western scenes of the rodeo queens
Knights of isles on shining steeps
In her mind to quell the violent screams
And the jig is up in this lonesome town
When the lights go out and we wander around
Until we find a way to disappear
And I stumble in and I take my seat
On a solitary bench in the summer heat
We wait for the priest in the back as I whisper in you ear
Melissa, I'll listen
Melissa, we're gonna get away
Melissa, I'll listen
Melissa, together we'll find a way (we'll get away)
Sunday school books in haunted nooks
Heavy eyed judgmental looks
All alone we go against the grain
We believe in God
We believe in faith
We believe in hope even when it rains
We'll never fit with the plans of antique pain
And the jig is up in this lonesome town
When the lights go out and we wander around
Until we find a way to disappear
And I stumble in and I take my seat
On a solitary bench in the summer heat
We wait for the priest in the back as I whisper in you ear
Melissa (we're gonna get away), I'll listen (we're gonna get away)
Melissa, we're gonna get away
Oh Melissa (we're gonna get away), I'll listen (we're gonna get away)
Melissa, together we'll find a way (we'll get away)
Together we'll find a way
Together we'll find a way
