Lyrics
Janie used to say, man in this town
You can hear broken love lying on the ground
Thirty-seven people on a merry-go-round
Changing partners every week
Come that day when I leave this burg
I’ll scream obscenities and flip the bird
At every stupid sucker who dreamed they’d heard
Their hometown song of love
Just take one look in the storefront there
If you question any word I say
Second hand shops crammed to the rafters
With love that’s gone astray
Wedding gowns with their hemlines stained
Ever so lightly in cheap champagne
Half-price dreams from the resale shop of love
Just take one look in the storefront there
If you question any word I say
Second hand shops crammed to the rafters
With love that’s gone astray
Wedding gowns with their hemlines stained
Ever so lightly in cheap champagne
Half-price dreams from the resale shop of love
St. Vinny DePaul’s changing room stalls
Know every story in this town
And on display in the window today
There’s a red tag fire sale on (on-on-on!)
Wedding gowns with hemlines stained
Ever so lightly in cheap champagne
Half-price dreams from the resale shop of love
Half-price dreams from the resale shop of love
Oh, half-price dreams from the resale shop of love
