My Life In Art
Mojave 3 Lyrics

Wendy gets high for the 2nd show
Wendy smokes drugs to perform in her second show

I watch her dance and I watch her flow for a dollar
The singer observes Wendy's dance movements in exchange for a dollar

She dreams of Vegas and the desert strips
Wendy desires to work in Vegas and its strip clubs

Where she can dance and she can make a lot of money
Wendy hopes to make a substantial income from working in Vegas

She left her home in a pick-up truck
Wendy left her home in a small truck

Left her husband when he beat her up
Wendy fled from her abusive husband

And now she works all night
Wendy works throughout the night

But the Kansas wind won't freeze her heart
The artist suggests that Wendy is resilient and cannot be broken by the tough Kansas weather

No, the rain just rolls right off her back
The artist believes that Wendy can withstand difficult situations easily

She's gonna be alright
The artist has faith that Wendy will be okay

Just tell me 'bout the boulevards
The singer wants to learn about the boulevards

Tell me 'bout your life in art
The artist wants Wendy to describe her life as an artist

Yeah, tell me 'bout the boulevards
The singer reiterates his/her desire to hear about the boulevards

Because Europe always seemed so far
The singer believes that they are far from Europe

You look so young and you talk so old
The singer suggests that Wendy looks young but speaks wisely

Listen up, babe, I just might take you home if you're lucky
The artist tells Wendy that he/she may take her home if she is fortunate

You read some books and they broke your heart
The artist suggests that Wendy got hurt by reading some books

But you don't know one thing about life
The singer thinks that Wendy does not understand life completely

You're just a pretty boy
The singer refers to himself or Wendy as a handsome man who is naive

And these bums on the corner will take your time
The artist cautions the pretty boy to avoid wasting time with people of dubious character

Sell you their stories for a nickel and a dime
The artist warns the pretty boy that people will sell him worthless stories for very little money

You could learn something
The artist believes that the pretty boy could gain some valuable experience or knowledge

And she stares so hard at those neon lights
The singer describes Wendy's intense gaze at the neon lights

I swear to god she's gonna bust them up
The artist thinks that Wendy will break the neon lights

She's gonna bust them up
The singer reiterates that Wendy will damage the neon lights

She laughs as she lights a cigarette
Wendy laughs while smoking a cigarette

Throws her arms around my neck
Wendy embraces the singer by wrapping her arms around his neck

She says 'I'll kill you
Wendy states that she will kill the artist

'I'll kill you just for trying'
Wendy threatens to kill the artist just for making an attempt at something

'Cause you don't even have the money'
Wendy tells the singer that he does not have any money

'You don't have the money'
Wendy repeats her statement that the singer lacks money

'Just buy me a drink and we'll call it quits'
Wendy requests that the artist purchase a drink for her instead of paying her money

'Tell me all about your pretty boy face'
Wendy asks the artist for an explanation or story about his handsome appearance
