Shawn Colvin - New Thing Now lyrics

Your rating:

Naked as a rose
 Everything exposed
 But not quite
 This is your new thing now
 Cards out on the table
 A genius with no label
 But not quite  not quite
 God  I swear it's good to be back home
 Waiting for the newest Rolling Stone
 All the other girls are still at war
 The best and worst of 1994
 Sometimes I see the half and not the whole
 Sometimes I see the face and not the soul
 Sometimes I think this place has no part
 For anyone who ever had a heart

 This is your new thing now
 And it looks so good in print
 Just a poet and her pimps
 But not quite
 This is your new thing now
 A prom dress and a sneer
 The woman of the year
 But not quite, not quite

 Gee, it's good to see a dream come true
 People smile and bless all over you
 Mixing up those latest junkie-isms
 With all the pretty terms of religion
 And don't you love the leader of the band
 Equal parts Butthead and Peter Pan
 All the other kids are sad again
 A legend's not a legend 'til it ends

 This is your new thing now
 And it makes the whole world spin
 It's as least as old as sin
 But not quite
 This is your new thing now
 And now you're turning grinning
 But maybe no one's listening
 And you might lose it all my darling, yes you might

 This is your new thing now
 And it feels so good to doubt you
 I could almost live without you
 But not quite
