Madonna Road - John Hiatt

Ohs, yeahs, and ai ya yas

Oh girl, yeah, yeah, yeah

He says you almost need a bodyguard

Just to go walking down the boulevard

Little girl with their club feet

You try to be so neat but theyre messy when you eat

When they gobble up the street

Those picture-perfect images

Pop another flash bulb and give a kiss

But its a clear absurdity, whats a person supposed to say

Sorry about yesterday, guess that things are just that way

Whoa, madonna road

Boys with broken bones out in the night

With secret messages to frightening to decode

Whoa, madonna road

Pump a little gas into the cylinder

All these movie lights they must be killin her

Shes been livin on the take

Waitin for a bigger break

And Ive seen you on the make

What d you think about the earthquake?

Well I dont wanna shake it up But move that camera quick before I break it up Youve been standin in that pose

Now theres a wound that just been closed

From an apartment of the host

Anybody got a no-doz

Chorus twice

Repeat verse 2

I said whoa, madonna road

I said whoa, madonna road

I said whoa, madonna road

Ai yi yi yis
