time magazine - susan levine lyrics

at 2 am i left new jersey
no idea what to expect
but i thought anything is better than the grey skies of newark
and the smell of the beer cans and the cigarettes

my [?] by the time i got to washington
and i admitted my defeat
i sat and cried on the steps of the capital
and someone took a picture of me

will i end up in time magazine?
american portrait gonna [?]
and if i end up in time magazine
well how will i explain why?

a young man wearing bеat up jeans
empty guitar case at his feet
he says ‘’hеy man, is there a dollar for a pretty tune?
see my throat is dry from all this heat”
he sings the [?] of it wasn’t a bad way to go
and [?] i think it bought me some time
but a bad deal and a bad relationship
and a bad [?] of acid left me half blind

i left some years consuming
i took a whole world through me
but i came out the other side
i searched for god in meetings
got me a psychic greeting
she told me this is my time
she said i’d end up in time magazine
that i’d become a great big star
and you know when you’re in time magazine
well everyone knows who you are

a young woman wearing army fatigues
a crying baby at her hip
she says ‘excuse me ma’am, is there a dollar for a hungry child?
see daddy is gone now and i’m sick’’
she says ’’i wear these clothes because they still smell like him
and i wear his dogtags close to my heart’’
yeah but how will i explain to this weedle little baby girl that her friendly fire blew her family apart?

the government checks the something
but the bills keep coming
and my whole world has come undone
he had a heroes funeral
i got the flag, the metal
but i sure did scream when they shot the gun

but you know we were in time magazine
american soldier and his bride
and i was pregnant in time magazine
and just three weeks before he died

an old man with a toothless smile
is smelling like yesterday news
he says ”pretty girl, is there a dollar for a working man ?
you could surely shine on those shoes’’
i said ”i’m sorry sir but i’m all out of change”
and i stood up and i tried to take my leap
but a cool blind was blowing
and the [?] was slowing down
and i, i pulled my last 20 from my sleeve
he said ”oh bless you honey”
i said ”it’s only money”
and i don’t know why but i kissed him on the cheek
he said ‘it’s been so long since anything i love has come all gone
keep your money child, i hope you find what you seek”

and there’s a copy of time magazine
for your reading pleasure at the corner of the bar
now the rest [?] on the top of time magazine
so timmy well i’m still trying to fix my car

yeah we’ll all end up in time magazine
so timmy well i’m still trying to fix my car
yeah timmy well i’m still trying to fix my car
yeah timmy well i’m still trying to fix my car
