No Place For You

Paul Westerberg


nobody claims to 
see it coming
nobody blames you
can't help thinking
a marriage license, a job was waiting
by your mid-30's
you feel unholy

no place for you
to be a girl
no place for you
they closed your world
no place for you
to live and grow
no place for you
that i know

approaching mirrors
waiting tables
fix your lipstick
don't disappoint those
who have nothing to do this evening
no day is safe from thoughts of you leaving

no place for you
to be a girl
no place for you
they closed your world
no place for you
to live and grow
no place for you
that i know

just add water
someone's done for
i'm getting nervous and there's one more
just add water
someone's done for
i'm getting nervious there goes one more

no day is safe from thoughts of you leaving
marriage license
can't help thinking
it's all for nothing
she's so unholy
up in the skies now
she's getting away

no place for you
to be a girl
no place for you
they closed your world
no place for you
to live and grow
no place for you
that i know
