[Verse 1]
I was born in the belly
I was born in the belly of a whale
I was raised in the valley
I was raised in the valley of shame
With the scars from the schoolyard
And a radio that had to be saved
I saw a light at the window
But she was running and she had to get away
[Pre-Chorus]
Then she was gone, gone, gone, gone
Ducked back down the alley
She was gone, gone, gone, gone
Ducked back down the alley
[Chorus]
Dress me up and take me home
Rolling on the overtone
Turning on the radio
Trying to send a message home
Trying to send a message home
[Verse 2]
Saw her eyes in the moonlight
With a look in them that drove me insane
She was caught in the headlights
Wearing leather and a delicate chain
Saw the light in the tunnel
She was slipping up and had to be saved
She had the eyes of a widow
There were tears that could never be erased
[Pre-Chorus]
Then she was gone, gone, gone, gone
Ducked back down the alley
She was gone, gone, gone, gone
Ducked back down the alley
[Chorus]
Dress me up and take me home
Rolling on the overtone
Turning on the radio
Trying to send a message home
Dress me up and take me home
Rolling on the overtone
Turning on the radio
Trying to send a message home
Trying to send a message home
