"Sparkle and Fade" Lyrics

01. Electra Made Me Blind
I shake the dust from this small town
I turn and follow the western
wind down
I go and pack up my shiny things
And go, yeah just go
I'll find a new life in old L.A.
Yeah, stupid happy with everything
I pulled myself down so easily
I know, I know, I know
I met Electra when living down
saw her spinning around and around
I never knew much about her past
I knew enough that I didn't ask
living isn't a simple thing
I know
no one ever said it's supposed to be
I know
July she lied...
living isn't a simple thing for me
I know ways to make it easier


02. Heroin Girl
I used to know a girl...
She had two pierced nipples
and a black tattoo
We'd drink that Mexican beer
We'd live on Mexican food
Yes, I wish I could go back
Yes, back in time
Esther used to be
The kind of girl that you would
never leave
She'd do anything
To give me what I need for my disease
She'd do anything
I can hear them talking in the
real world
But they don't understand that
I'm happy in hell
With my Heroin Girl
I am losing myself in a
white-trash hell
Lost inside a Heroin girl
They found her out in the fields
About a mile from home
Her face was warm from the sun
But her body was cold
I heard the policeman say
Just another overdose
...just another overdose!
Esther used to be
The kind of lover you would
never leave
She'd do anything to give me
what I need
For my disease
She would do anything
