Maisie Peters – John Hughes Movie Lyrics
[Verse 1]
This wasn’t how it’s supposed to go
I should be the one you’re dancing with
Spinning with a vodka coke
Everybody at my fingertips
I was gonna get my coat
And baby you were …
[Verse 1]
This wasn’t how it’s supposed to go
I should be the one you’re dancing with
Spinning with a vodka coke
Everybody at my fingertips
I was gonna get my coat
And baby you were …
[Intro: Greg Gonzalez]
We wanna go where the girls are young and dumb
And hot as fuck
Where they’re dancing in the streets
With nothing on
[Verse 1: Goody Grace]
Drivin’ all night, lost track of …
[Verse 1]
One more night, I’ma break down
Two more drinks ’til I pass out, baby
3 AM’s when I need her
Before this lonely, and it drives me crazy
[Pre-Chorus]
Strike a match, blow a …
[Verse 1]
Beat myself until I’m bloody
And I’ll give you a ringside seat
Say that it’s embarrassing
I’m sorry that you had to see me like that
[Verse 2]
So you could either watch me drown
Or try to save …
[Verse 1]
Passed out in the back of a cab
Could you pull over? I think that I’m trapped
Caught underwater, I beat on the glass
Gnawing my arm at the shoulder
Would you help …
[Verse 1]
I just wanted to be one of The Strokes
Now look at the mess you made me make
Hitchhiking with a monogrammed suitcase
Miles away from any half-useful imaginary highway
I’m a big name in deep space, ask your mates
But golden boy’s in bad shape
I found out the hard way that
Here ain’t no place for dolls like you and me
Everybody’s on a barge
Floating down the endless stream of great TV
1984, 2019
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Maybe I was a little too wild in the ’70s
Rocket-ship grease down the cracks of my knuckles
Karate bandana, warp speed chic
Hair down to therе, impressive moustache
Lovе came in a bottle with a twist-off cap
Let’s all have a swig and do a hot lap
[Chorus]
So who you gonna call?
The Martini Police
Baby, that isn’t how they look tonight, oh no
It took the light forever to get to your eyes
Primis Player Placeholder
[Verse 2]
I just wanted to be one of those ghosts
You thought that you could forget
And then I haunt you via the rear view mirror
On a long drive from the back seat
But it’s alright, ’cause you love me
And you recognise that it ain’t how it should be
Your eyes are heavy and the weather’s getting ugly
So pull over, I know the place
Don’t you know an apparition is a cheap date?
What exactly is it you’ve been drinking these days?
Jukebox in the corner, “Long Hot Summer”
They’ve got a film up on the wall and it’s dark enough to dance
What do you mean you’ve never seen Blade Runner?
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Oh, maybe I was a little too wild in the ’70s
Back down to earth with a lounge singer shimmer
Elevator down to my make-believe residency
From the honeymoon suite
Two shows a day, four nights a week
Easy money
[Chorus]
So who you gonna call?
The Martini Police
So who you gonna call?
The Martini Police
Oh, baby, that isn’t how they look tonight
It took the light absolutely forever to get to your eyes
[Outro]
And as we gaze skyward, ain’t it dark early?
It’s the star treatment
Yeah, and as we gaze skyward, ain’t it dark early?
It’s the star treatment
It’s the star treatment
The star treatment
