Vonda Shepard

Newspaper Wife

Sitting here in this dirty bar
Watching the trash go by
She's selling cigarettes and lollipops
She says 'Maybe my time will come'
He said he'd sweep her off her feet
Defying all of gravity
Well she'd move any bright city
I'm a slave in this empty life
Well he must have a very small broom
As she sits in this very large room
Maybe it's just a piece of straw
I'm a slave to this empty life
I'm a slave to this empty life
Diggin' my grave I'm his newspaper wife
I'm ashamed of this meaningless life
She sits across from him

Drinking her coffee
His face is buried in other people's lives, she says
'I wonder if he's gonna read forever
Repeat Chorus
Diggin' my grave I'm his newspaper wife
I'm ashamed of this meaningless life
She sits across from him
Well he must have a very small broom
She sits across from him
Repeat Chorus
He said he'd sweep her off her feet
I'm a slave to this empty life
She says 'Maybe my time will come'
I'm a slave in this empty life
